Attendees will learn how VOD can support victims of crime in their healing\, will understand the ethical considerations for survivors and IP’s participating in VOD\, and what to expect when working with survivors who may choose to participate in VOD. \nIf you require accommodations to attend this training\, please email info@ovwa.org no later than one week prior to the webinar date. \nThis training is preapproved for CEU’s from OAN\, NACP\, and the State of Ohio CSWMFT Board.
