Register here.
Have you ever said “yes” to something and immediately regretted it? Whether it was volunteering to coach a Little League team, baking cookies for an event, or volunteering for yet another project at work, we have all done it and said “yes” even though we knew we didn’t have the time, energy, or passion for it.
During this webinar, we will explore the reasons we say ‘yes’ when we really want or need to say ‘no’. Then we’ll examine different tips and tricks that will help all of us set the boundaries we need so we can say ‘yes’ to more of the things that fulfill our purpose and goals in life.

Nearly half stalking offenders are current or former intimate partners. All stalkers can be dangerous, but current/former intimate partners are generally more threatening, violent, and interfering than other stalkers and may stalk their victims before, during, and/or after the relationship. It is important to identify stalking separate from and in addition to concurring intimate partner violence. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), this webinar highlights the significant connections between stalking and intimate partner violence.

The Youth Protective Factors Study: Effective Supervision and Services Based on Risks, Strengths, and Development is an unprecedented multistate, multiyear examination of the risk and protective factors that most influence reoffending—particularly serious offenses that involve physical harm to others—among youth ages 10 to 23 in the juvenile justice system.
Researchers recently released the first of a series of briefs associated with this study, “Youth Reoffending: Prevalence and Predictive Risk Factors in Two States,” which provides key insights into what risk factors are most associated with youth reoffending, especially for serious offenses. Analyzing data from over 32,000 youth across 2 states, the brief offers guidance on improving juvenile justice supervision and services. Principal researchers Gina Vincent and Jennifer Skeem will share key findings for this initial analysis, including research-based strategies for juvenile justice supervision, case planning, and service delivery to enhance public safety and improve youth outcomes.

[ONLINE] Emotional Labor: Are You Working Double Time?
[ONLINE] Emotional Labor: Are You Working Double Time?
October 3, 2024 7:00 AM - 8:15 AM
Register here.
Working with people creates a daily adventure, which means no two work days are ever the same. And although fulfilling, there are daily challenges as well, with some days being easier, and other days being harder, every day involves emotions. Perhaps without even knowing it, you are likely working twice as hard throughout your days; primarily focusing on your career-related tasks but secondarily engaged in emotional labor.
Emotional labor is managing your emotions to complete the job at hand. This is illustrated by an expression of emotion or suppression of emotion that doesn’t meet the internal emotion. Seen across many sectors, some of the most common professional roles this is depicted in are law, social work, education, customer services, childcare, and advocacy. Emotional labor is tiring and, over time, taxing, sometimes leading to stress and diminished well-being.
Together, let’s lighten your emotional labor load.
During this webinar, we’ll:
- Define and describe emotional labor.
- Reflect on instances of suppressed and expressed emotional labor.
- Create a cope ahead plan.

[ONLINE] Get Out the Vote 2024 with VALOR (Part 2): Preventing Gun Violence
October 7, 2024 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Register here.
Part 2 VALOR’s “Gun Culture: Get Out the Vote,” our second web conference in this series, will focus on educating us on how gun culture in America is focused on reacting to rather than preventing violence. Gun-related violence against sexual assault survivors, domestic violence survivors, women, and children is pervasive, and although we have made strides to prevent gun violence, it is not enough.
Web Conference Series Description As one of the most influential election cycles of our lifetime accelerates with less than 80 days until November 5th, we hear your questions on how to vote for topics closest to you, like ending gender-based violence, societal and cultural violence, advancing reproductive justice, and preventing gun violence. We also hold these topics close to our hearts and are equally as concerned.
At VALOR, we recognize how daunting it is to discuss these topics with others who may or may not hold the same belief systems and that education on how we address these topics to shape our collective future as equitably as possible is needed.
VALOR is hosting a three-part educational web conference series with guest panelists who will address these and similar topics. The web conferences aim to prepare us to enter the election cycle ready to confidently use our Collective Voice. Collective Power. Collective Action. to advance the equitable world that we all strive to live in.

[ONLINE] Coming Out and Going Out
[ONLINE] Coming Out and Going Out
October 8, 2024 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Register here.
From navigating new crushes to making it "official", relationships for youth can be exciting, confusing, and scary. Add in coming out, anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, and a lack of representation of queer and trans relationships, and LGBTQ+ youth are left particularly vulnerable in a setting already ripe for hurt feelings.
In this workshop, adult allies to LGBTQ+ youth (24 and under) will learn about the signs of healthy and unhealthy relationships that are specific to LGBTQ+ youth. We will then dive into how a youth's LGBTQ+ identity can be used to abuse them by a dating partner and what bystanders can do to interrupt this pattern. Lastly, we will ensure that participants leave feeling comfortable and capable to discuss relationships with LGBTQ+ youth- whether that's as a shoulder to cry on or someone to safety plan with.

When conducting assessments or forensic exams with a victim of domestic violence, any reported history of strangulation places the person at a higher risk for more serious violence or homicide at the hands of their intimate partner. Strangulation can have serious, permanent, or even fatal damage to a victim's throat or brain (Vehling, 2020). However, healthcare providers can help mitigate long-term damage by recognizing signs of strangulation, properly documenting any evidence of abuse, and providing referrals for seeking safety assistance. How do you recognize the signs and symptoms of strangulation? What can you do after identifying a victim of strangulation?

Creating safe and supportive environments for LGBTQIA+ communities is an integral part of sexual and intimate partner violence prevention and Health Equity. According to the Centers for Disease Control, LGBTQIA+ youth experience higher rates of sexual and dating violence than their cisgender and heterosexual peers. Additionally, homophobic bullying at a young age has been linked to sexual and intimate partner violence prevention at a later age.
As communities grapple with record-setting anti-trans and anti-queer sentiments, policies, and practices across the across the country, the stakes have never been higher for advocates and preventionists to create protective environments for LGBTQIA+ people.
Join PreventConnect and dedicated LGBTQIA+ advocates and activists for a web conference dedicated to uplifting trans joy and inclusion as a value and a practice in ending sexual and intimate partner violence.
In this session, guests from FORGE will discuss the connections between forms of violence, what they are doing to intervene against state-sanctioned transphobia and homophobia, and how advocates and preventionists can address internal and external structures to create safe environments for LGBTQIA+ communities.

[ONLINE] Recantation and Domestic Violence
[ONLINE] Recantation and Domestic Violence
October 17, 2024 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM
Register here.
The Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention is thrilled to welcome Dr. Amy Bonomi and David Martin J.D., panelists on our webinar, Recantation, Domestic Violence and Strangulation. The overarching goal of this webinar is to empower people and communities to improve their understanding of and skills in domestic violence cases that involve recantation. As recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court, witness tampering is a significant problem in domestic violence cases, with abusers often pressuring their victim to recant to lessen criminal charges (Davis v. Washington, 126 S.Ct. 2266, 165 L.Ed.2d 224, 2006). In 2011, using audio-recorded phone calls made from jail, their research team published a five-stage model describing how abusers awaiting prosecution tamper with their victims to coerce their recantation (Bonomi, Gangamma, Locke, Katafiasz, & Martin, 2011).
Their five-stage model is used throughout the world in courts, law schools, medical schools, and professional training settings to illustrate how domestic abusers tamper with and coerce victims. Then, they published a book (Bonomi and Martin, 2023) that extends the five-stage model by showing how abusers tamper with third parties to manipulate their primary victim and reviews new professional advocacy models to protect victims (Recantation.org – Recantation and Domestic Violence: The Untold Story).
The overarching goal of this webinar will be to describe their five-stage model outlining how abusers tamper with their victims, including presenting new data from phone calls, text messaging, and social media. They will present new data from their book showing how abusers tamper with third parties and professional advocacy models to protect victims against tampering.

[ONLINE] People Who Use Violence Against Intimate Partners
[ONLINE] People Who Use Violence Against Intimate Partners
October 22, 2024 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Register here.
The thought of working with domestic violence offenders may seem intimidating and discouraging as thoughts of whether they can change race through our minds. Yet, if we do not work with the root of the problem, how will the problem be resolved? The problem will grow, and more victims will be exponentially created as the legacy of violence passes on to the children.
Hence, this training is designed to help you work with the offenders, the root of the problem, so that we ultimately help their families be safe. This training will help you to understand offenders: how they think and behave, how to work with them, and what goals we want to achieve with them. It will also help you to begin to understand the complexity of the problem of domestic violence and hopefully give you some tools working with the offenders so that we, as a community, can begin to resolve this challenging issue.
Learning Objectives:
- Learning how to assess for people using violence on their intimate partner.
- Goals of intervention with people using violence on their intimate partner
- Understanding and working with parents who choose to use violence.
- Learning to work with individuals from other cultures

October 25, 2024 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Register here.
This presentation highlights the key findings from a nationwide study that examined the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on service provision for domestic violence victims and survivors. Policy implications are also discussed based on interviews and survey data collected from victim service providers across the United States, including all 50 states, Washington DC, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The research team will discuss the following significant themes:
-
Type of abuses and the associated risks;
-
The needs of domestic violence victims and survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and beyond;
-
The challenges in meeting these needs;
-
The best practices that have shown effectiveness in addressing these challenges.
The findings presented during this webinar are informed by a collaborative project between John Jay College of Criminal Justice and George Mason University funded by the National Science Foundation’s Build and Broaden 2.0 program (NSF Award Number: 2127295/6). The views and interpretations are those of the authors, not the institutions — the National Science Foundation, John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY), and George Mason University.

[ONLINE] Intensive Virtual TTA Series: Moving Beyond a Criminal Legal System for Black Survivors
[ONLINE] Intensive Virtual TTA Series: Moving Beyond a Criminal Legal System for Black Survivors
October 28, 2024 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM
Register here.
Join Ujima for a continued session of our three-part Intensive TTA Training series. We have found that discussions related to shifting our response and moving beyond the criminal legal system often fall short in their analysis of the impact that bias from within the public health system has on survivors and the public health response in general. These gaps in response and the resulting lack of trust from the community, leave Black survivors particularly vulnerable. These workshop sessions will focus on identifying prevention and intervention strategies grounded in a public health approach to addressing violence within the Black community.

[ONLINE] Beyond Intimate Partner Stalking: Acquaintance, Stranger, and Family Offenders
[ONLINE] Beyond Intimate Partner Stalking: Acquaintance, Stranger, and Family Offenders
October 28, 2024 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM

About half of stalking cases are perpetrated by current or former intimate partners – which means half are not. Even when the stalking is not related to domestic violence, the response to stalking is typically housed under domestic violence or rape crisis services. Do you serve all victims of stalking – even when offenders are friends, acquaintances, family members, or strangers? This webinar explores the prevalence and dynamics of non-intimate partner stalkers, including strategies to assess risk and plan for victim safety.

API-GBV staff will be available to moderate and encourage discussion, but this is a space for YOU, as the experts of this work, to share your experiences and to learn from allies across the country.
This October, we are holding space to discuss how relationships and relationship abuse are depicted in the media, including in music, TV, movies, and cultural media such as Bollywood films, C- and K-dramas, and more. How have these depictions impacted our perspectives on healthy relationships and our understanding of domestic violence, and are there ways that your programs have worked to address the romanticization of toxic relationships in the media?

[ONLINE] "Comfort Women" Justice Advocacy Webinar
[ONLINE] "Comfort Women" Justice Advocacy Webinar
October 30, 2024 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Register here.
KAN-WIN's "Comfort Women" Advocacy Team works to educate and mobilize local communities in the movement for justice for survivors of the Japanese military's sexual slavery system. "Comfort women" was a euphemism for the hundreds of thousands of girls and women across Asia and the Pacific Islands who were forced or deceived into military sexual slavery by Japan in the years leading up to and during World War II. Since the early 1990s, survivors and their supporters have fought for a holistic vision of accountability and acknowledgment from the Japanese government. Their activism has become an intergenerational, global movement that inspires all of us to join the work of remembrance and justice.
This interactive workshop will provide the historical and political context of the Japanese military's sexual slavery system and the global social movement while highlighting KAN-WIN's efforts in continuing the survivors' movement. Participants will also have an opportunity to engage in an art activity, which only requires paper and pen. As a survivor advocacy organization in Chicagoland, KAN-WIN takes inspiration from the survivor-leaders of the "comfort women" movement and joins their collective work towards a world free from gender-based discrimination, oppression, and violence.
