SUMMARY:ODVN - Tuesdays@2: Understanding AI’s Impacts on Domestic Violence Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nTuesdays@2: Understanding AI’s Impacts on Domestic Violence Advocacy \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) is not a new concept but has made significant advances in the last few years in our everyday personal and professional lives.

In this training\, the National Network to End Domestic Violence’s Safety Net Project will facilitate a conversation around the impacts of AI in the field of domestic violence advocacy and on survivors. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how advances in AI can be used to cause harm\, as well as strategies to support survivors of domestic violence facing these concerns. \nThis training is designed for advocates at all skill levels. \nTrainer: Chad Sniffen\, Senior Technology Safety Specialist\, National Network to End Domestic Violence \nDeadline to Register: Thursday\, March 7\, 2024 \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact ODVN at training@odvn.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Intersections of Partner-Inflicted Brain Injury\, Oppression\, and Racism: Supporting Survivors of Color
DESCRIPTION:  \nHosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nIntersections of Partner-Inflicted Brain Injury\, Oppression\, and Racism: Supporting Survivors of Color \nPlease join ODVN for this free\, virtual training. \n\n\nSurvivors of color have systemic barriers to accessing all types of services and are disproportionally impacted by challenges with access to housing\, employment\, social services\, and other social determinants of health.

WomenatthecentrE is an organization that centers the voices of women-identified survivors of gendered violence.    \nThis training is designed for advocates at all skill levels.  \nTrainers: Rachel Ramirez\, LISW-S\, RA\, Director of Health and Disability Programs and Founder of the Center on Partner-Inflicted Brain Injury\, ODVN; Nneka MacGregor\, Executive Director\, WomenatthecentrE \nDeadline to Register: Friday\, March 15\, 2024 \nThis training is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network.

SUMMARY:ODVN - Court Advocacy Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nCourt Advocacy Roundtable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA court advocate can play an important role in a domestic violence survivor’s journey through the legal system\, not only by navigating the system but also by providing support and safety tips to the survivor. Often\, advocates focus on the legal system and forget to check in with survivors about other needs they may have\, leaving survivors with more stress than they had before their involvement with the legal system. This virtual roundtable will help advocates see the importance of supporting survivors with their legal needs\, while also understanding why it’s important to identify challenges survivors face when involved in the justice system. This training includes presenters and a panel of victim service professionals that will provide advocates with an understanding on the core meaning of legal advocacy\, how to assist survivors in navigating the civil and criminal justice systems\, and how to effectively partner with other victim service providers in their community. \nCost: Free \nDeadline to Register: Monday\, October 14\, 2024. \nThis event is offered by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. Please contact ODVN at training@odvn.org with any questions.

DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network: \nUnauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) 2.0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSurvivors of domestic violence often need access to legal assistance and legal advocates have proven to be valuable resources in helping survivors to navigate criminal and civil court systems. Providing legal advocacy can often come with risks of practicing law and it is important that advocates understand UPL and know what they can specifically do and say.
