Family & Victim Advocacy 101 for 2009 |
Huntsville, AL
Tuition: $549
This training is designed for Family or Victim Advocates that work with children who are victims of crime and/or the child’s non-offending caregivers. Historically, the criminal justice system was designed for adults, and can be confusing and frightening for children. Family & Victim Advocates are uniquely positioned to provide information and support to children and families, who often have a host of concerns and needs during the legal process. This training will concentrate on the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to successfully implement a Family and/or Victim Advocacy program.
The major components of this training include:
- Dynamics of non-offending caregivers
- Building community acceptance
- Program description and operation
- Integrating the program with existing services
- Working with the multidisciplinary investigative team
- Rapport building and bonding with clients
- Implementing a support group for caregivers
- Accessing community services
- Tools and techniques for intervening with caregivers
The fee for each training session is $549. Participants are responsible for all transportation, lodging and some meals (lunches will be provided). Early registration is encouraged. More about CEUs.
