Nashville’s focus on high-risk cases began after its comprehensive Safety & Accountability Assessment released in 2013 highlighted multiple gaps regarding high-risk offenders and their victims. As a result, Nashville adopted the Lethality Assessment (LAP) for police officers and the Danger Assessment (DA) for service providers that funnel the highest-risk cases of intimate partner violence to Nashville’s High-Risk Intervention Panel (HRIP), a multi-disciplinary case review team.  This webinar will discuss the impact of the Danger Assessment in Nashville’s two Family Justice Centers, the benefits of assessing for danger, and additional programming to develop to support high-risk clients.  The presentation will also cover how high-risk cases identified by the DA and the LAP are funneled into the HRIP and how the high-risk team works together to provide wrap-around services to survivors and accountability for offenders. Attendees will hear from HRIP members about their roles on the team and how Nashville’s high-risk work has impacted their agencies.

Have you heard about iMPRoVE (Measuring Provider Responses to Victimization Experiences)?

This innovative tool, made possible through funding from the Office for Victims of Crime, is designed to help you gather crucial feedback from victims and survivors, facilitating the improvement of your program efforts.

iMPRoVE simplifies data collection, enabling victims and survivors to anonymously share their experiences with the services they received and how those services affected their lives and well-being. This valuable feedback can then be utilized to enhance your programs, demonstrate the effectiveness of your services, and even strengthen requests for additional funding.

Stalking is a serious, prevalent, and dangerous crime that impacts every community in the United States. While awareness and public discussion of intimate partner violence and sexual assault have increased in recent years, stalking remains frequently misunderstood and rarely discussed – on campuses, within the fields of domestic and sexual violence, in our criminal justice system, and among the broader general public. This webinar highlights strategies and tools to create and elevate discourse on stalking.

The basic and ever-present tenet of journalism is covering crime, whether there is a single victim or multiple. This creates a conflict between what news organizations may consider “the public’s right to know” and the traumatized person’s expectation of and right to privacy. Providers of victim services play a critical role in protecting those rights and helping victims cope with the media coverage immediately following a crime and during the trial and verdict. Understanding the media, its goals, internal pressures, training, or lack thereof, and the questions they could ask will help victim service providers better assist the victims and survivors whose lives were thrust into the public eye. This training will provide participants with real, life-tested, usable tips on how to help victims navigate intense media interest and pressures and learn strategies on how you can help interested victims and survivors work with journalists to make sure their voices are heard, and their stories are represented accurately.

Has there been a time when you’ve experienced conflict in the workplace that could not be resolved to your satisfaction? Did you wonder if there were steps that you could have taken that might have brought about a more positive result? Might you have considered the entire situation to have been unpleasant and you wished that you didn’t have to deal with it at all?

Conflict of one type or another is practically inevitable when people work together. There will always be differences of opinion and perspectives about workplace matters. Such differences need not create a situation where the disagreement becomes a highly charged dispute that can lead to strong negative emotions and unresolved issues.

By utilizing certain communication and interaction skills, conflicts are less likely to arise, and those that do develop can be more promptly and equitably resolved. In a spirited conversation, former hostage negotiator Jeff Owens and Dr. Ed Sherman will offer ideas and suggestions that will provide you with proven effective tools and techniques that are likely to change your view of conflict and enable you to deal with it much more readily and comfortably.

You will learn how to recognize when a conflict is escalating, what to do to stop and reverse the escalation, that not all conflict is bad and how some can be beneficial, and specific strategies to address conflict including when to elevate the matter within your organization and reach out for assistance.

Historically, service providers operated under the assumption that “if we take care of mom, the kids will be ok.” We now know this is not true. Children exposed to domestic violence are more likely to die by suicide, they are far more likely to commit domestic and community violence as adults, and they are abused or seriously neglected at a rate 1500% higher than the national average. Additionally, exposure to domestic violence causes the same kind of harm to a child’s mental health and learning as if the child had been physically abused. We must care for and address the needs of both the caregiving parent AND the kids. Join us for a 90-minute webinar as we learn from the perspective of adult survivors: What do they want to know about how exposure to domestic violence may impact their kids? What kinds of resources and services do they want for their kids? How do we make sure we are being kind-hearted as we talk to survivors about the experience of their kids?
