About Fundamentals in Victim Services:

The June 2023 Fundamentals in Victim Services Training is an in-person 2.5 day training for victim advocates to develop core knowledge and skills to provide victim-centered services. By the end of this training, advocates will be able to:

  • Understand the role of ongoing and historical trauma in victimization and develop skills for providing trauma-responsive advocacy to all victims of crime.
  • Expand their understanding of vicarious trauma and strategies to build resilience for a sustainable career in victim services.
  • Understand and examine their own Occupational Identity (OI) and identify strategies for cultivating healthy boundaries; and
  • Describe key victims’ rights and know how to find more information to ensure that criminal legal systems professionals are meeting statutory obligations regarding crime victims;
  • Recognize and interrogate the roles of bias, privilege, and oppression in victimization and advocacy;
  • Identify and honor the unique and complementary roles of community-based and systems-based advocates;

Furthermore, training participants will have opportunities to connect with one another and with experienced professionals with a range of knowledge and skills.
