SUMMARY:OVWA Webinar Wednesday: Trauma-Informed Safety Planning and Lethality Assessments - How to Quickly and Effectively Assist Domestic Violence Survivors in Assessing Personal Safety
DESCRIPTION:Please join OVWA and Alicia Williamson\, MSW\, LSW\, Assistant Deputy Director with the Ohio Domestic Violence Network\, to discuss essential trauma-informed safety planning skills and the use of lethality assessments for domestic violence survivors. Advocates working within systems are often providing emergency services to victims of domestic violence and\, while obtaining safety measures through the criminal justice system can be a necessity\, effective safety planning involves safety in all situations while not relying on an offender’s adherence to court orders. Attendees will learn how to quickly and effectively help a survivor assess their physical and emotional safety and develop preparation and planning for potential escalations of violence. There has been much discussion in the utilization and development of lethality assessments as a tool for safety awareness and planning\, and attendees will learn considerations for administering lethality assessments both within and outside of the criminal justice system. \nIf you require accommodations to attend this training please email us at info@ovwa.org no later than one week prior to the training. \nThis training is preapproved for CEU’s from OAN\, NACP\, and the State of Ohio CSWMFT Board.

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.
