Do you serve survivors of crime or other traumatic events? Does your agency have training dollars you need to spend ASAP? Register for Summit Victim Assistance Academy's VIRTUAL SESSION of “The Essentials of Victim Advocacy" held via Zoom from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST, October 7-11, 2024. “The Essentials” is designed to offer trauma-informed knowledge and skills to individuals serving survivors of crime and other traumatic events. Attendees will be introduced to the (NOVA) crisis intervention model and other trauma-informed skills and tools, and learn how to use them to perform ‘point of need’ crisis intervention to those impacted by a wide range of victimizations and traumatic events. Those who complete this 44-hour comprehensive course may apply to become a National Credentialed Advocate at the provisional level through the National Organization for Victim Advocacy’s National Advocate Credentialing Program.

We lost a great one. Rev. Dr. Robert Denton peacefully passed away in his sleep Saturday night. Bob, husband to Marian, friend, mentor, professor, minister, confidant, and founder of Victim Assistance Program and Safety Forces Support Center, has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands across our nation. Bob will be deeply missed, never forgotten, and always a part of those who knew him well. Toward the end of the month, information about services will be shared for those interested in participating. We love you, Bob. May you rest in peace.
