Consultation
Praxis recognizes that no individual organization can fully speak to the array of issues represented by rural grantees. Our capacity is strengthened through our partnerships with Technical Assistance Providers (TAPs), representing a variety of expertise.
Praxis staff and TAPs can work with your organization individually on specific problems, organize a private consultation session with a group of practitioners in your community,conduct a networking call for a small group of grantees working on a similar project, provide sample policies or materials to help you in your work. These events are an economical way for multiple practitioners to receive training without significant travel and expense. Feel free to contact our TAPs directly.
SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CONSULTATIONS ON INTERAGENCY RESPONSES TO BATTERING If you are a rural OVW grantee planning or implementing a coordinated community response (CCR) and have sent local members of your CCR to an OVW-sponsored CCR training, you are now able to work with Praxis to bring one or more consultants to your community to assist you. We can work with you to tailor a one-time or ongoing consultation that will help you, as a group, move toward your grant goals. With OVW approval, you can use your OVW set-aside training funds (or your own grant funds if available) to cover the costs. See link below for further detail. Technical assistance brochure
