Victim Advocacy Peer Forums

These forums are open nationally to advocates who are involved in providing services to children served by children's advocacy centers (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.

Each forum starts in a large-group format to review a special topic relevant to victim advocacy, and then participants move to Zoom breakout rooms for small-group discussions and resource sharing. The meeting closes with all participants returning together in one large group for a Q&A with Regional CAC staff.  

As a result of this forum, participants will:

• Gain foundational knowledge and skills for effective victim advocacy
• Apply learning to practice through peer discussions
• Connect with peers throughout the United States
