Victim Advocate and Mental Health Partnerships Peer Consultation Forums

As a result of this forum, participants will:

• Receive informal peer consultation around issues of importance
• Have the opportunity to share best practices with other advocates and clinicians and develop ways to be supportive of one another in their work
• Gain resources and ideas from presenters, clinicians, and advocates to support their work with children and families

Support and partnerships between victim advocates and mental health staff can be critical elements in serving children and families seen at children's advocacy centers (CAC). Victim advocates and mental health clinicians are encouraged to attend as a team to provide the best opportunity for joint learning and rich discussion in sharing best practices in the partnership role.

Facilitators:

• Amelia Siders, PhD, State Chapter Liaison, Western Regional Children's Advocacy Center
• Salli Kerr, Training Specialist, Western Regional Children's Advocacy Center

The registration for each forum will open separately, three weeks before the forum date.
