SUMMARY:Prevention Through Advocacy: Integrating Movement History\, Prevention Theory\, and Practice into Advocate Training
DESCRIPTION:Prevention Through Advocacy is a two-part workshop that supports sexual and domestic violence organizations in rethinking advocate training as a place for violence prevention and movement building in addition to survivor advocacy.In this training\, participants will explore how the advocacy training model has been shaped by professionalization and funding structures\, including the costs and benefits of standardized training that is integrated with medical\, legal\, law enforcement\, social service\, and community systems. \n\n\n\nBoth sessions will be from 10am to Noon via zoom – part one on Thursday\, March 5th\, and part two on Thursday\, March 12th. \n\n\n\nPart 1 will look closely at the tensions this history creates for survivor-centered\, community-driven\, and intersectional work. You will situate your own training practices within the broader movement to end gender-based violence. Through a case study\, participants will explore how professionalization and funding pressures can narrow the scope of advocacy\, pulling organizations away from intersectional\, community-rooted efforts to end violence and toward managing harm within existing systems. Participants will examine how advocate training can invite people into the movement rather than frame the role as limited to a volunteer or job function. \n\n\n\nPart 2 will shift to concrete strategies for designing and facilitating movement-aligned advocate training that builds community\, shared purpose\, and solidarity among advocates and staff. It concludes with guided reflection and planning to identify specific\, realistic changes participants can make to better integrate prevention theory and movement grounding into their training programs. \n\n\n\nLOCATION: Via Zoom – link will be sent to registrants the day before. \n\n\n\nThis event is open to CEGV Membership\, advocates\, and community organizers.

SUMMARY:Under Oath: Responding to Requests for Testimony
DESCRIPTION:Via Zoom \n\n\n\nTherapists are frequently asked to provide testimony about their services and opinions regarding individuals\, couples\, children\, and families with whom they have worked. Attorneys\, evaluators\, and/or the courts want to know if therapy was effective\, if there were signs of domestic violence\, what were the diagnoses\, and other salient factors. \n\n\n\nClients may or may not want you to testify. You may or may not want to testify. Whether or not you choose to provide testimony\, there is almost certainly an impact on the therapeutic relationship. Join Fran Schopick and Tracee Parker to explore the types of testimony that therapists might be asked to provide\, the implications of providing testimony\, and the basic skills of testifying when required. \n\n\n\nAs a result of this workshop\, participants will:· Understand the three types of testimony that may be requested of therapists in family court.· Be able to develop and prepare for a thoughtful response to testimony requests from clients and others.· Have a basic knowledge of how and how not to respond to questions while providing testimony. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters: \n\n\n\nFrances Schopick\, JD\, MSW is an attorney with an extensive background in clinical Social Work and psychiatric research. She served on the Psychiatry Faculties at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NYC and Harvard Medical School in Boston\, MA to research the underlying contributors seen in people with mood\, personality\, and psychotic disorders. She worked clinically with perpetrators as well as survivors of domestic violence and coercive control. Her experience has given her insights into the dynamics of high conflict families as well as the complex and nuanced challenges posed to the counselors who work with them.Now an attorney in WA State\, Fran represents health care providers undergoing Board investigations. To help licensees avoid such complaints\, Fran develops Disclosure and Informed Consent resources tailored to individual practice\, so that providers can simultaneously minimize counselor risk and maximize client care. Fran provides legal consultation to agencies\, counselors\, and other healthcare providers working with individual adults\, children\, couples\, and families\, often in “high conflict” situations. Fran speaks nationally on the importance of well-administered Informed Consent as well as the many factors that can affect clinical care. \n\n\n\nTracee Parker\, Psy.D. is the Justice for Families Project Manager at the Coalition Ending Gender-Based Violence\, where she has co-authored (with Dr. Anne Ganley) Intimate Partner Violence Impact Assessment – A process for collecting\, analyzing\, and presenting information. Her background includes domestic violence advocacy\, supervised visitation for domestic violence cases\, domestic violence perpetrator treatment\, training and consultation\, mediation\, nonviolent conflict resolution training\, and expert testimony. Her doctoral research focus was post-separation battering via access to children and working with men who batter. Dr. Parker is also adjunct faculty at Seattle University in the Social Work Department where she teaches a 10-week course entitled\, Domestic Violence in the U.S. \n\n\n\nEarn 2 Ethics CEUs from WA State Society for Clinical Social Work \n\n\n\nFor questions and accommodations requests\, reach out to Nykki nykki@endgv.org
