Honoring our Missing Relatives and Strengthening our Roles as Advocates

Location: TBD

August 14, 2024 | 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Join CSVANW for a one-day, 6.5 hour in-person training in Albuquerque, that will provide participants with an understanding of gender-based violence (GBV) and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR), illustrate the connection of domestic violence (DV), intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV). This training is designed for advocates and providers who want to learn about their role in working with MMIWR families and utilize their advocacy to combat the MMIWR crisis.

Intended Audience: Direct service providers and advocates providing services in the areas of gender-based violence, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives, domestic violence, sexual violence, and those who work with survivors of violence and their dependent children. Including but not limited to counselors, advocates, probation officers, judges, etc. Evaluation and Certificate: An evaluation link will be provided to you at the end of the training. CSVANW asks participants to complete this evaluation for reporting purposes. A certificate of completion for the training will be issued to you and sent to the email that was captured on the attendance sheet.

Learning Objectives: Discuss the correlation between DV/IPV/SV and how it can lead to the causation of MMIWR. Determine how advocates and providers can better serve MMIWR families, learn about ending gender-based violence and engage in conversations around Vicarious Trauma and Advocacy and a facilitated conversation to determine ways to better support survivors and be a part of the solution to the MMIWR crisis.
