Victimized Again: How the Reentry Process Perpetuates Violence against Survivors of Domestic Violence
Presenters: Courtney Cross, Esq. Staff Attorney Our Place DC (Washington, DC)
Katrina Cheshier Case Manager Our Place DC (Washington, DC) This webinar will focus on work being done at Our Place DC, an organization that provides guidance and services to help currently and formerly incarcerated DC women craft better lives. Their model is quite unique because it emphasizes comprehensive social and legal services. The legal services are especially critical for survivors because often getting a protection/restraining order is made more difficult by the requirements imposed by community supervision (parole/probation). Additionally, legal services can help increase access to employment/housing/mental health and other services critical to survivors as they move toward independence.
Presenters will discuss best practices for providing domestic violence social and legal services to formerly incarcerated women and the need for comprehensive services. Additionally, presenters will discuss how the re-entry process perpetuates violence amongst an already vulnerable population - survivors of battering. Date: June 3, 2013 Time: 3:00 - 4:30 Eastern Time

NJCASA TRAINING INSTITUTE presents
Phillip McCabe, CSW, CAS, DRCC, Health Educator at UMDNJ and leader of NJ Gay Health Initiative Project
Webinar: Sexual and Interpersonal Violence in the LGBTQ Community:Providing LGBTQ Affirmative Services
A 90-minute webinar presented by Philip McCabe, Health Educator at UMDNJ and leader of NJ Gay Health Initiative Project.
Sexual violence is any act (verbal and/or physical) which breaks a person’s trust and/or safety and is sexual in nature.Heterosexism and homo/trans phobia in our culture puts LGBTQ people at greater risk for sexual assault. It is common for perpetrators to use sexual violence as a way to punish and humiliate someone for being LGBTQ, and/or for sexual assault to be one type of violence that occurs during an anti-LGBTQ battering. Interpersonal violence can also occur between same sex domestic partners, former partners, other family members, friends, co workers and others known to the victim. Providers can benefit from understanding the difficulty for LGBTQ victims to receive services as well as what considerations can be beneficial for providing LGBTQ affirmative, trauma informed services.
As a result of this webinar participants will:
Analyze the prevalence and consequences of sexual violence as it pertains to LGBTQ individuals.
Describe special considerations in working with victims of same-gender violence and also individuals who identify as LGBTQ and are victims of opposite gender sexual violence.
Particpants will use GoToMeeting to join the webinar.

Beyond Trauma: An Evidence-Based Intervention For Women
Experiencing Trauma and Addiction
Renaissance Chicago Downtown
1 West Wacker Drive
Chicago, IL 60601
May 13 & 14, 2013
9am – 4pm
Stephanie S. Covington PhD, LCSW
Domestic violence and addiction are often addressed as separate issues even though a growing body of evidence demonstrates a clear and consistent association between the incidence of addiction and interpersonal violence (physical, emotional and sexual) in women’s lives. Co-occurring domestic violence and substance abuse can impact women’s safety, decision-making and access to relevant services.
This training is designed to help domestic violence coalitions and programs build their capacity to provide better advocacy, support and services for survivors dealing with trauma and addiction. Its primary focus will be on the practical application of Dr. Covington’s evidence-based curriculum “Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey for Women,” and her shorter 5-session trauma intervention “Healing Trauma, Strategies for Abused Women.” Both are designed to support healing and recovery from trauma with attention to substance abuse as a primary theme. The training will also review key elements for creating gender-responsive trauma-informed programming for women dealing with addictions. Barriers to services experienced by survivors, including those living in rural communities will also be addressed.
