Retooling Your Coordinated Community Response: How Institutional Analysis can transform your approach to system reform

A goal of many OVW grantees is to change institutional practices that give rise to poor outcomes for survivors of violence against women. A Community Assessment emphasizes understanding how work is organized and pays particular attention to victim safety and wellbeing in addition to offender accountability. Practitioners and advocates work side by side to analyze policies, case files, and the steps in case processing in order to identify concrete points of change for improved outcomes for women. This webinar will introduce the Community Assessment process and examine how communities have used it within their CCRs and their efforts to end violence against women.
