Training Track Options:

You Show up for Others — But Who is Showing up for You?

Jason Claros, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, invites you to join him for "Biohacking Burnout," a workshop designed specifically for those working in the intense and emotionally demanding field of victim advocacy.

Legislative Reforms for Survivor Safety and Justice

Professor Stoever will discuss legislation proposed and passed by the UCI Law Domestic Violence Clinic, the client experiences that inspired the legislation, and the difference these new laws can make for survivors and advocates across California.

Talking with Children and Adolescents About Trauma and Violence: Disclosures, Report Completeness, and Accuracy

Dr. Quas will discuss key findings from extant literature on disclosure and reporting tendencies in youth victims, and effective methods of building rapport and eliciting disclosure from these vulnerable populations.

We invite you to be a part of this impactful event and celebrate the strength and resilience of those who serve and support victims every day.
