The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) invites new and experienced domestic violence and sexual assault advocates, first responders, and service providers to join our in-person 40-Hour Core Advocacy Training at CNM Space Solutions. This state-certified training equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and culturally responsive tools necessary to provide trauma-informed advocacy and crisis intervention in Tribal communities. Over the course of three days, participants will explore the historical and systemic roots of violence, gain critical insights into legal advocacy, and develop strategies for self-care and sustainability in this work.

Training Highlights:

📅 Day 1: Foundations of Advocacy & Crisis Response

📅 Day 2: Legal Systems, Policy, & Advocacy

📅 Day 3: Systems Change & Sustainability in Advocacy

This interactive, in-person training will provide participants with an opportunity to connect with other advocates, engage in meaningful discussions, and leave with actionable skills to better serve Native survivors and families.
