Technical Assistance

At OVWA, we are passionate about providing technical assistance to Ohio’s advocates, allied professionals, and their organizations. We strive to develop helpful resources, best practice guides, and one-on-one assistance to Ohio’s victim services providers—and this service is available to OVWA members and non-members alike.

Here are some of the ways we can help. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Reach out to us at info@ovwa.org or 614-787-9000.
