Vital Subjects: Building a Framework for Healthy Victim Services Organizations
Date: February 25, 2026 Time: 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET
As a sequel to the recent Expert Q&A on promoting positive workplaces, this webinar introduces a practical framework for building and sustaining a healthy victim services organization—one that is survivor centered, trauma informed, and resilient. Grounded in principles of collective care and shared accountability, the session explores how organizational well-being is strengthened by individual leadership and by the health, connection, and stability of the teams that carry the work forward.
This webinar will translate research and field insights into practical approaches that support workforces, strengthen policies, and enhance partnerships. Participants will explore common challenges (e.g., vicarious trauma, turnover, role clarity) and learn simple tools to bolster organizational and team health without adding any extra burden. Emphasis will be placed on nurturing supportive team dynamics and cultivating workplaces where care and accountability are shared across roles and levels.
By the end of the session, participants will leave with clear, achievable steps tailored to the size and context of their agency. Participants will be able to—
- Identify at least two strengths and two gaps in their current organizational and team health, and
- Determine and commit to one actionable improvement over the next 90 days.
