 This training is designed to provide new advocates and domestic violence program staff the basic principles of working with victims of domestic violence.  A variety of topics are addressed including:

• Dynamics of domestic violence

• Barriers faced by victims

• Cultural humility

• Lethality indicators

• Safety planning

• Crisis intervention and crisis line work

• Advocacy foundations such as empowerment, ethics and confidentiality

This interactive training is provided by GCADV staff utilizing lecture, small group activities, role-plays, audiovisuals, and exciting discussion. The training is an excellent opportunity for new advocates to gain a thorough understanding of domestic violence advocacy or for experienced advocates looking for a “refresher” on core knowledge and skills.  

At this training, we will provide training on topics such as domestic violence and trauma; the criminalization of survivors; the Justice for Incarcerated Survivors program structure; and trauma-informed interviewing strategies. This training is aimed towards domestic violence advocates who are interested in volunteering with the Justice for Incarcerated Survivors project. Volunteer meetings and opportunities often take place during the traditional working hours on M-F, although there may be occasional opportunities for volunteer opportunities outside of those times.

 

Our project volunteers are required to participate in one of our bi-yearly volunteer training sessions. The next JFIS Volunteer training will take place in Q3 of 2024.
