    Trauma-Informed Advocacy in the Time of a Pandemic

    The world has changed, and ways of life have been put on hold. These are truly trying and difficult times for so many people. Tribal domestic violence advocates are struggling to find their footing and respond as best they can under the circumstances, given the lack of resources and tribal infrastructures as well as an increase in domestic violence.

    Webinar - Psychological Survival in a Violent Career

    Law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, crime scene investigators, and others are frequently exposed to human tragedy on a regular basis, yet few have purposely developed a coping strategy for dealing with this repeated exposure. These concepts also apply to those who are affected by secondary traumatization such as crime scene investigators, attorneys, and others who are in frequent contact with images or information regarding gruesome acts of violence.
