SUMMARY:Seattle Book Launch "How to End Family Policing: From Outrage to Action"
DESCRIPTION:In a study titled\, “There’s No One I Can Trust”\, 50% of domestic violence survivors with direct experience of mandated reports said the mandated report made things much worse. Only 3% stated it made things much better. Additionally\, over 1 in 3 survivors stated they have not asked for help for fear of mandated reporting. \n\n\n\nWe must take seriously the harms of mandatory reporting practices on survivors\, especially those most impacted such as youth\, BIPOC\, and LGBTQ+ survivors. Our collective work requires upholding survivor self-determination.  \n\n\n\nWe are honored to be a sponsor of the upcoming book launch of How to End Family Policing: From Outrage to Action (Haymarket). Join us as we hear from authors Shannon Perez-Darby and Shawn Koyano\, along with community organizers Såhi Velasco and Sully Sullivan\, for an evening of reading\, conversation\, and engagement!  \n\n\n\nCopies of the book will be available to purchase at the event. For questions about the book contact Shannon@accountablecommunities.com \n\n\n\nThe library can provide accommodations for people with disabilities at library events. Please contact LEAP at least seven days before the event to request accommodations. \n\n\n\nNote-The library closes at 6:00 p.m. It will reopen at 6:15 pm for the event. Seating is first come\, first served for registered participants. All Library programs are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:HATC Education Forum Healthy Connections: A Sexual Health Education Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Monica Schell\, MSW (she/they) joins us from The Harborview Abuse & Trauma Center (HATC) to present Healthy Connections: A Sexual Health Education Curriculum. HATC developed a comprehensive sexual health education curriculum for high school students in Washington State.

The lesson topics are: Setting & Respecting Boundaries\, Healthy Relationships\, Digital Consent\, and Supporting a Friend: Options After an Assault. This training will provide an overview of the Healthy Connections curriculum and best practices for implementation. This training will also show the impact the lesson topics had on students\, as well as the effectiveness of comprehensive\, shame-free sexual health education as a sexual assault prevention tool.

SUMMARY:Housing & Homelessness Advocacy Day
DESCRIPTION:About HHAD \n\n\n\nHousing and Homelessness Advocacy Day (HHAD) is one of the largest annual lobby days at the state capitol in Olympia. Advocates gather from all over Washington to meet in person with their lawmakers and rally for housing justice. \n\n\n\nNo past experience is required! Our team of legislative district leads will guide you through the day\, and you’ll be invited to short trainings over Zoom before HHAD to get briefed on the bills we are supporting and how to effectively talk with lawmakers. \n\n\n\nHHAD is hosted by the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance and the Washington Housing Alliance Action Fund\, and has strong presence and leadership from people directly impacted by housing injustice\, including through the Resident Action Project. \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nThe Housing Alliance does not organize transportation for HHAD\, but if you aren’t able to catch a ride through one of the above transportation options\, you can connect with other HHAD attendees to self-organize carpools here. \n\n\n\nThis form will ask you for your State Legislative District number. This helps us put you in the right group for lawmaker meetings. Look it up at https://app.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder and make a mental note of your State Legislative District number (not your Congressional District number). Most people register with the legislative district where they live\, but you can also use the legislative district where you work if you prefer.  \n\n\n\nRegistering a big group? If you’re bringing 10 people or more\, save some time by using our group registration form. If your group is smaller than 10\, please register individually.  \n\n\n\nASL and Spanish interpretation will be provided during check-in\, at the rally\, in lawmaker meetings\, and at the virtual prep sessions before HHAD. Please let us know if you will use ASL or Spanish interpretation so we can be sure your specific lawmaker meetings have an interpreter.  \n\n\n\nOur friends at Waters Meet Action Fund are generously providing two buses to HHAD from Eastern and Central Washington as well as box dinners for the ride home. Riders can board in Spokane\, Moses Lake\, or Ellensburg. Wheelchair spaces are available. Sign up here for a free spot on the bus.

SUMMARY:Supporting Survivor Defendants
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a training webinar exploring ways to support survivors who are navigating the criminal legal system as defendants. \n\n\n\nMany people who are incarcerated have experienced domestic violence or sexual assault prior to system involvement. This training will provide context for how survivors become criminalized\, explore advocacy approaches across different court systems\, and share strategies for building effective relationships with defense attorneys and therapeutic courts. \n\n\n\nParticipants will also examine organizational barriers that may limit support for survivor-defendants and identify opportunities for more inclusive legal advocacy. Training will focus on practical strategies\, not legal advice. \n\n\n\nAdvocates of all levels of experience are welcome!

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

SUMMARY:Prevention In Practice: Exploring the Endless Possibilities of Violence Prevention Programming
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month\, we are exploring the wonderful\, creative\, and diverse field of gender-based violence prevention at our Prevention in Practice: Exploring the Endless Possibilities of Violence Prevention Programming webinar. \n\n\n\nThe world of prevention is chock-full of possibilities\, both in what programming can look like but also in the positive impact prevention can have. When violence prevention is guided by public health approaches\, anti‑oppressive frameworks\, and community organizing\, it becomes more than a set of strategies; it becomes an opportunity to innovate\, strengthen community relationships\, and introduce programming that communities may not have previously accessed or engaged with.  \n\n\n\nBut\, what does that mean in practice? What can and does violence prevention actually look like when we get down to brass tacks?  \n\n\n\nJoin WSCADV / SA Prevention Staff and preventionists from across WA state as we explore different examples of violence prevention programming. From leveraging social media for narrative change\, to working collaboratively with other local resource providers\, to policy change; the world of prevention is vast and vibrant and full of possibilities! Let’s explore what’s possible together!  \n\n\n\nWe’re excited and honored to host and feature the work of preventionists from: \n\n\n\nLutheran Community Services NW (Spokane) \n\n\n\nEmergency Support Shelter  \n\n\n\nMalawi Seattle Association \n\n\n\nKalispel Tribe of Indians \n\n\n\nYWCA Clark County

SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Advocate Gathering
DESCRIPTION:“For one of the most vital ways to sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance\, places where we know we are not alone” -bell hooks \n\n\n\nLet’s get together! Join us for our spring gathering of system-based and community-based gender-based violence advocates to continue to deepen our connections and practice collective care. \n\n\n\nAdvocates spend their days holding space for survivors and carrying the weight of their stories. At the same time\, many of us are carrying the weight of emotional numbing and exhaustion that can come from doing this work in systems that do not offer the same level of care we strive to provide others. We know that sustainable advocacy requires collective care. When advocates have space to process\, reconnect\, and restore\, we strengthen our ability to continue showing up for survivors and one another.  \n\n\n\nDuring our time together\, advocates will rotate through “restoration stations” and will get the opportunity to sample various creative ways to connect with each other and regulate their nervous systems.  \n\n\n\nAgenda:1:00 – 1:30 Welcome\, Intro\, Grounding1:30 – 1:50 Organization highlights \n\n\n\nBREAK2:00 – 3:45 Main Topic: “The Art of Restoration: Centering Collective Care and Self-Preservation”Snacks\, sweets\, and coffee/tea will be provided.Planned in partnership with: The Coalition Ending Gender-Based Violence\, DVHopeline (New Beginnings)\, the King County Protection Order Advocacy Program. \n\n\n\n*Please note that while targeted for gender-based violence direct service staff at our membership organizations\, this event is open to staff at all levels across our membership!*ASL interpreters available.

When narratives shift\, they can open space for new solutions\, challenge harmful assumptions\, and help communities see shared possibilities.  \n\n\n\nWe are teaming up with El Centro de la Raza and reimagine collective to bring this conversation to our community. This is the first time reimagine collective is hosting a live Reimagine Insights session in Seattle\, Washington\, so you don’t want to miss it! \n\n\n\nYou can expect time to network and shared tools for developing values-based messages that connect with people and inspire action. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Space is limited\, so get your spot today!
