Victim Advocacy Peer Forums

The Regional Children's Advocacy Centers are partnering to host virtual Victim Advocacy Peer Forums. These forums provide a space for victim advocates to connect with their peers across the country doing similar work. Each forum starts in a large-group format to review a topic relevant to advocates that work with CACs, and then participants move to Zoom breakout rooms for small-group discussions and resource sharing. The meeting closes with all participants engaging in a Q&A session with Regional CAC staff. 

The Victim Advocacy Peer Forums count toward initial and ongoing NCA Training requirements. Please note that you must attend the session in full to obtain a certificate of participation.

Target Audience

These forums are open nationally to advocates who are involved in providing the constellation of services to children served by CACs. This includes victim advocates employed by a CAC, working at a partnering District Attorney's office, and/or staff of a community-based organization.

Schedule

These forums are free to attend. Individuals may attend any or all forums. Please pay attention to which time zone you are in below each date. Please note that the times below do not represent multiple peer forums; rather, they represent the time when the call starts in your local time zone.
