SUMMARY:Brown Bag: CREATING ALTERNATIVES TO THE CRIMINAL/LEGAL SYSTEM THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED RESPONSES TO VIOLENCE
DESCRIPTION:Join SOL’s Lynne Sprague as she discusses: \nAdvocates of community-based alternative to violence assume that the relationships\, families and communities in which violence occurs are also the very locations for long-term change and transformation. We know that friends\, family\, and community know most intimately the conditions that lead to violence as well as the values and strengths which can lead to its transformation.  Knowing that involvement in the criminal justice system can be more harmful for some survivors and families\, we seek to build a community that has viable solutions outside of the criminal justice system. Come hear about a local community-based accountability project that has been underway for over a year in the Denver-metro area.

SUMMARY:Brown Bag: Human Trafficking for Service Providers
DESCRIPTION:Human trafficking is an issue that we are growing in awareness around; however\, domestic and sexual violence advocates have been serving trafficking survivors long before the current focus on the issue has become en vogue. The victimization of trafficking survivors\, both labor and sex\, co-occur with the sexual\, physical and/ or emotional violence experienced by domestic and sexual violence survivors. Traffickers are often romantic partners\, family members or caretakers and utilize the same tactics as domestic and sexual abusers to main power and control. Unfortunately\, information about trafficking and resources for trafficking survivors has often not been disseminated to those doing working in domestic and sexual violence.  \nJoin Michele Reimer\, Human Trafficking Program Manager for COVA\, for a presentation that explores the intersections of human trafficking\, domestic and sexual violence. Attendees will learn how trafficking is defined by the federal government\, red flags for human trafficking among those receiving services for domestic and sexual violence and what advocacy support and additional resources may be offered to the human trafficking survivors you serve.

SUMMARY:Violence Free Colorado's Brown Bag Series #12
DESCRIPTION:Keeping it Simple: Promising Practices in Shelter Rule Reduction \nShelter rules and guidelines… a topic frequently revisited and yet can seem continuously difficult to manage. As noted in the VAWnet ‘Conflict Resolution Tools for Domestic Violence Shelter Staff’\, “Shelter advocates themselves may feel that the lines between structures and rules designed originally to be protective and those that are unnecessarily restrictive have become blurred. Fortunately\, an increasing number of domestic violence programs have initiated internal critiques of their shelter rules and structures\, examining the extent to which they compromise rather than support the empowerment of residents and designing alternative approaches.” \nThis discussion\, led by Beth Collin\, will provide time for peer-to-peer dialogue about critically re-examining shelter rules\, considering rule-reduction initiatives\, and whether shelter staff feel equipped to manage communal housing conflicts without replicating power-over and controlling dynamics. \nClick Here to Register \nEach month of 2015\, you are invited to join Violence Free Colorado staff and experts from advocacy organizations around the state for a Brown Bag conversation!  \nWe hope you’ll join us! \nFor more information\, please contact Beth Collins: ecollins(at)violencefreeco.org

SUMMARY:Colorado Advocacy in Action Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Colorado Advocacy in Action Conference is co-hosted annually by Violence Free Colorado (Violence Free Colorado) and the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA). The Coalitions collaborate on this event in order to provide training and education that is based on best and promising practices for addressing sexual and domestic violence\, and to ensure that services for survivors are as consistent and comprehensive as possible. Colorado Advocacy in Action is the only statewide conference specific to domestic violence\, sexual assault\, stalking\, and dating violence advocacy and is intended for victim service providers as well as affiliated professionals. We hope it also provides an opportunity for advocates in the sexual and domestic violence field to connect with their counterparts and build a collective voice to further our work to end sexual and domestic violence in Colorado.

SUMMARY:Pre-Conference Institute: CCR
DESCRIPTION:Whether you have a barely formed interagency team\, a Coordinated Community Response (CCR) that is facing hurdles\, a domestic violence organization that wants to develop a CCR in your community or a well-established team that wants to further develop skills\, this is the pre-conference institute for you. This training will offer core leaders in any CCR/ inter-agency effort — coordinators\, advocates\, prosecutors\, and law enforcement ideas on how to strengthen\, expand\, and give new direction to their CCR. If you come as a team it can provide an opportunity for you to integrate the information provided to take back to your community with purpose and direction. \nThis training institute will provide latest research and information on best practices for coordinating criminal justice system responses to battering. Whether you are new or seasoned\, you will leave with an understanding of how to build a CCR that can effectively prioritize and implement solutions to better protect victims and their children\, hold offenders accountable\, and maximize the efficacy of your coordinated community response. \nGeneral session topics will include:\nThe mission\, purpose\, and function of an effective CCR\nActivities for CCRs: Moving from networking to action\nProblem solving\, practices\, and strategies to assure enhanced and consistent responses\nIncorporating attention to risk\, danger and history into all points of the intervention. \nDiscipline-specific tracks will address related CCR roles\, best practices\, and emerging issues\, but will also specifically address: \nLaw enforcement: Realities of domestic violence and their impact on law enforcement response\, strategies for reducing homicides of victims and officers\, reducing dual arrests and false arrests\, evidence-based investigation strategies when responding to domestic violence-related crimes\, etc.\nProsecution: Charging\, pretrial release\, plea negotiation\, preparing for trial\, trial\, sentencing\, enforcement\, influencing work prior to a prosecutor’s involvement that “makes or breaks” the case\, and working with battered women’s advocates\nCCR coordinators and advocates: Tools and skills for enhancing your interagency responses to battering\, strategic use of research\, statistics\, and data to inform interagency discussions and accountability\, anticipating resistance and strategizing to prevent/overcome obstacles\, strategic use of “the table”

SUMMARY:Violence Free Colorado's Brown Bag Discussion #6: Batterer Typologies
DESCRIPTION:There is an urgent need to intervene with people who use abusive behaviors with their intimate partners given the tremendous emotional\, physical\, and financial harm which results from their actions. Efforts by professionals to better understand\, identify\, and intervene with these men are appropriate\, timely\, and important. Research that typologizes batterers (domestic violence offenders) was introduced in the late 1970’s by a few pioneering researchers and has continued to evolve. While the efficacy of a sub-type classification approach to batterer intervention continues to be debated\, its popularity is on the rise. Join us for a discussion with national and state experts to talk about recently emerged qualitative subtyping of batterers\, addresses concerns that have been raised about the methodology relative to its application in Colorado’s domestic violence offender management\, victim advocacy\, and victim services\, and get recommendations for those doing the work in the field. \nRegister!

SUMMARY:Violence Free Colorado's Brown Bag Series #5: CCR
DESCRIPTION:This will be the 5th installment of Violence Free Colorado’s monthly BROWN BAG Teleconference Series! Each month of 2015\, you are invited to join Violence Free Colorado staff and experts from advocacy organizations around the state for a Brown Bag conversation!  \nWhether you already have a multi-agency team\, have a team that is struggling\, or are thinking about starting one this discussion can help clarify the process a CCR team uses.  The CCR team process is a tool used by interdisciplinary groups and domestic violence advocacy organizations to further their common goals of enhancing safety and ensuring accountability when intervening in cases involving intimate partner violence.  Its premise is that workers are institutionally organized to do their jobs in particular ways—they are guided to do jobs by the forms\, policies\, philosophy\, and routine work practices of the institution in which they work. When these work practices routinely fail to adequately address the needs of people it is rarely because of the failure of individual practitioners. It is a problem with how their work is organized and coordinated. A CCR team is designed to allow interagency partners discover how problems are produced in the structure of case processing and management. We encourage questions on how utilizing this approach would work for your organization and how you can start the process of initiating a CCR in your community. \nClick here to register! \n
