Integrating Health Equity Into Sexual and Domestic Violence Prevention: Key Concepts and Components of Strategies and Approaches
Integrating Health Equity Into Sexual and Domestic Violence Prevention: Key Concepts and Components of Strategies and Approaches
September 25, 2023 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Register here.
Everyone deserves health and safety, yet many communities are faced with barriers that limit access to important resources that allow for optimum levels of health and safety such as housing, jobs with living wages, fresh food, and accessible transportation. These barriers didn’t just appear, but rather they are the outcome of generations of laws, policies, practices, and social norms that have created conditions where sexual and intimate partner violence are more likely. By addressing the reasons that communities have more or less resources and being intentional in the way we select and implement prevention strategies, prevention practitioners can advance health equity and prevent violence.
Join PreventConnect and guests from the Kansas RPE program for a conversation exploring health equity in sexual and intimate partner violence prevention practice. We’ll explore how the core components of a prevention strategy, including how the strategy is designed and the key messages of the strategy, can be a starting point for integrating health equity into violence prevention work.
OBJECTIVES
- Gain deeper understanding of health equity frameworks in sexual violence prevention.
- Translate concepts of health equity into practical on-the-ground program development and implementation.
- Create cross-cutting strategies and partnerships to address social determinants of health and prevent violence in local communities.

Understanding Civil Restraining Orders: Domestic Violence, Extreme Risk Protection Orders, and More
Understanding Civil Restraining Orders: Domestic Violence, Extreme Risk Protection Orders, and More
September 27, 2023 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Register here.
Legal services attorneys play a critical role in decreasing risk for clients struggling with family law conflicts, child custody disputes, domestic violence, threats of suicide, workplace violence concerns, and stalking situations. While current state law varies nationally, federal law and policy in this area plays an important role and both state and local policies help shape options for legal advocates and their clients. Attendees will learn from two experts in the field - an attorney and a retired judge - about both state and federal law and efforts around promising practices in this area, including differences between Domestic Violence civil (and criminal) approaches to reducing risk and Extreme Risk Protection Orders (so-called "red flag laws"). Challenges with implementation and concrete steps attorneys can take to bring forward client concerns, respond to questions state court judges may have, and provide access to the most protective and effective remedies will be covered. Additionally, faculty will cover current research around firearm ownership, gun violence (including the connection between various types of violence) and issues raised by the 5th circuit case (U.S. vs. Rahimi) currently before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Civil Order of Protection as A Tool for Economic Justice
The Civil Order of Protection as A Tool for Economic Justice
September 28, 2023 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM
Register here.
Civil protection orders provide survivors of domestic violence with a tool for accessing economic justice. Unlike criminal justice remedies, for which the state wields control over the case, civil protection orders provide survivors with agency over whether and how to initiate the case, the specific relief requested, and enforcement of the relief. Civil protection order statutes are intended to promote safety and prevent future violence. Though underutilized, civil protection order codes include provisions that enable survivors to pursue economic relief, including access to material resources.
Intended for nonlawyer legal advocates, this Learning Exchange will:
- Discuss the nexus between economic justice and safety
- Examine the landscape of economic relief in civil protection orders
- Offer practical advocacy strategies for nonlawyer advocates to leverage economic relief in protection orders, from intake to enforcement

Beyond Language Access: Confronting Bias and Ensuring Justice in the Prosecution of SV, DV, Stalking, and HT Involving Survivors from Latine Communities
September 28, 2023 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Register here.
This web-based panel will explore the ways in which bias against survivors from Latine communities affects the investigation and prosecution of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking and human trafficking. Panelists will address the following topics:
- Effects of inequalities and challenges that survivors from Latine communities uniquely face as victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and human trafficking;
- Barriers to reporting crimes, such as bias and stereotypes held by law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and jurors that can translate into disparate outcomes for victims through unfair credibility determinations;
- Impact of bias on case assessments of the probability of conviction, and collateral consequences on a victim’s ability to seek restoration;
- Explore strategies for prosecutors’ offices to enhance justice for victims by engaging in cultural humility, improving training, and ensuring accountability reinforced by data.
As a result of this panel, participants will be better able to:
- Identify and eliminate bias impacting prosecutorial decision-making and practices.
- Refine (and or develop) practices and policies that enhance public trust that the system works fairly for all individuals in the community.
- Promote fairness through cultural humility, , improved training, and accountability through data-driven practices.

The Legacy of the Polyvictimization Initiative and the Future of a Groundbreaking Framework
The Legacy of the Polyvictimization Initiative and the Future of a Groundbreaking Framework
September 28, 2023 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Register here.
This webinar will help professionals understand polyvictimization, the new National Polyvictimization Assessment Tool, and the corresponding victim services framework that can enhance the response of Family Justice Centers and victim service organizations to survivors with numerous victimizations in their lives (childhood and adult). Drawing from observations and lessons learned in the multi-year, federally funded (OVC) National Polyvictimization Initiative, speakers will discuss how assessing for a survivor’s lifetime history of trauma allows providers to identify survivor needs more holistically and provide the range of services needed to address those complex needs more comprehensively. Our panel of speakers will share how this framework has transformed the way their Family Justice Centers operate, including the expansion of partnerships and the way their frontline staff now engage with survivors and help them find pathways to hope and healing. Speakers will also address the challenges they have encountered in implementing this framework, as well as the practical steps they have taken to overcome those challenges. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A segment with our panel to learn more about developing this framework in their own agency or organizations.

Mindfulness in Multi-Disciplinary Teams
Mindfulness in Multi-Disciplinary Teams
September 28, 2023 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Register here.
Mindfulness allows one to focus on the present, get out of the worry loop, and center themselves to move forward continually. Individuals come to the team with their personalities, professions, and trauma backgrounds, making every multi-disciplinary team (MDT) its unique organism, functioning with a specific personality and energy. These teams continually work hard to improve the justice system for survivors and that work can deplete resilience. MDT meetings can become frustrating and even re-traumatizing. By addressing both trauma and secondary trauma directly, looking at options for more effective supportive teamwork can begin. This webinar will address valuable tools for MDTs and individuals to practice self-care.
