The fifth webinar in the Victim Assistance Response to Mass Violence Webinar Series highlights the importance of victim service providers responding to incidents of mass violence and terrorism.

The session focuses on communications during mass violence and terrorism incidents, emphasizing:

• The role of victim services in response and recovery efforts;
• The importance of collaboration between victim services and other agencies; and
• Common communication challenges victim service providers encounter throughout response and recovery.

The emergence and evolution of technology enable youth and adults to connect, research new topics, build social networks, and increase their communication skills. But although technology offers many positive opportunities, abusers can also exploit it to cause harm. Perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) may use technology as an additional method of manipulation, coercion, intimidation, and abuse. 

Do you have questions about how to identify the ways that abusers target victims of IPV through technology? Do you want to learn the foundational elements of an effective safety plan for survivors of IPV? If so, then please join us for this interactive Expert Q&A webinar!  

This session is ideal for professionals working in victim services, including social workers, counselors, law enforcement officers, and prosecutors.
