| | A Grantee Roundtable for Tribal Programs

Tribal advocates frequently wonder
whether there is something more we should or could be doing for our
children and mothers who are battered. This roundtable will create the
time and space for an in depth discussion with other Tribal advocates,
focusing on how to:
- Integrate tribal values into our advocacy
- Enhance programming with balance between the advocacy needs of children with the needs of their mother
- Identify interventions that focus on our strengths and resilience to survive the abuse

How Are We Doing? Assessing How Advocacy Organizations Account for Victim Safety and Autonomy
|
|
Rural advocates work to make positive change within institutions, such as the criminal justice, whose policies and practices negatively impact victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and dating violence. Additionally, as advocacy has become more established, our own organizations also greatly benefit from assessments of how practices and policies impact our goals in working with victims. This advanced advocacy training course will teach rural advocates how to recognize features of systems and organizations that adversely affect victims and transform or minimize their impact. Participants will receive a free copy of (In) Visible Workings, a new, self-directed training course developed by Praxis upon which this training is based.
Trainer/Facilitator: Melissa Scaia, Praxis Technical Assistance Partner
Hotel: Embassy Suites St. Paul
Meeting location: Paul & Sheila Wellstone Center for Community Building

Training Law Enforcement on the Initial Investigation
with Marcus Bruning, Supervising Deputy, Duluth Sheriff's Office
|
| |
The role and practice of law enforcement in responding to domestic violence cases has changed dramatically over the last twenty-five years as society’s understanding of battering and domestic violence has grown. Law enforcement officers are continually challenged to evaluate their practices while keeping victim safety at the forefront of the process. Consequently, law enforcement agencies have changed practices over time. This session will address the core competencies needed by police officers to conduct a thorough initial investigation in order to enhance victim safety. It is intended for all practitioners who provide training on domestic violence to law enforcement officers. Participants will learn the skills needed to manage an overall investigation, assess for probable cause and self-defense, make a predominant aggressor determination, and write a report that maximizes victim safety in cases of domestic violence.

The Role of Batterer Intervention Groups Within Rural CCRs
|
| |
In the last 30 years, many different Batterer Intervention Program (BIP) models have emerged to assist facilitators in helping men to change their thinking, adopt new behaviors, be accountable to their partners, children, and communities, and ultimately live violence-free lives. But these goals can be difficult to achieve. As a CCR facilitator, how do you work within your community to assure that these outcomes are realized? Join us to discuss:
- The crucial relationships between the BIP, victim advocacy program and other CCR partners
- What makes the most effective group program, and
- Developing BIP best practice protocols
