Victims of Crime

Due to COVID-19, the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) has decided to offer a portion of the Summer Summit that was to be held in Denver, CO in a modified format as the “2020 Summer Summit Virtual Learning Series.” This series highlights six of the topics from the original agenda regarding professional development and victim advocacy needed to address the “Challenge of Change.” Sign up today to learn from experienced faculty from around the country while not leaving your home office!

Attendees will hear from the California Department of Justice, California Tribal Families Coalition, and California Department of Social Services. This conference will provide Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) litigation and legislation updates and also take an in-depth look at different Tribes’ organizational approaches and how they are developing their infrastructure. 

Evidence-based practices clearly demonstrate that the relationships professionals develop with their client is critical in supporting behavioral change. Creating a relationship that is supportive, empathetic, and accountable and that provides appropriate advocacy is foundational in the change process. Developing effective working relationships requires balancing empathy and boundaries with clear goals and an attention to resolving barriers.

This year, 307 names are being engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, DC, adding to the nearly 22,000 killed in the line of duty already memorialized there.

Join the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund along with law enforcement leaders, celebrities, U.S. officials, and American icons as they come together to pay tribute to our fallen law enforcement officers in a livestreamed Candlelight Vigil.
