Posted: Tuesday, July 19, 2011Webinar: Survivor-Centered Response for First Responders and Law Enforcement Personnel
Having a survivor-informed response is critical for campus-based first responders and law enforcement personnel who are working to provide response and prevention practices that attend to supporting the survivor, offender accountability, and changing community norms. This webinar will help campuses to: (1) prepare campus safety teams and first responders to handle sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking incidents; (2) challenge individuals in confronting their own perception(s) regarding sexual violence issues and how that establishes/reinforces standard of care and treatment of survivors; and (3) provide an opportunity to reinforce campus safety policies and practices.
This webinar will be facilitated by Teresa White, director of education for Women Organized Against Rape. Teresa conducts training programs for the U.S. Federal Protective Services, law enforcement agencies, the School District of Philadelphia, medical professionals, community/civic organizations, and houses of worship.
This webinar is sponsored by Violence Intervention and Victim Advocacy and will be held on Tuesday, July 26, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. in Bulger Communication Center 120. Contact Liz McGough at ext. 4029 for more information.
