The 33rd Annual Victims’ Rights Conference – Survivor Voices: Elevate. Engage. Effect Change
April 28, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 3:30 pm
Date & Location:
Friday, April 28, 2023, 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, Baystate Health Education Center, Holyoke, MA
Goal:
In its 33rd year, the Annual Victim Rights Conference has seen the importance and impact of survivors joining us to share their experiences. The overarching goal of this educational activity is to bring together survivors and professionals to share best practices that will ensure support that is survivor-driven. By centering on survivors’ stories, we hope to break the silence, eliminate stigma, and elevate their voices. These stories emphasize that partnerships between survivors and professionals can lead to effective change in program, policy, and practice across the multiple professional disciplines in attendance. Additionally, participants will gain awareness of the neuroscience behind burnout and secondary traumatic stress and the most effective institutional and individual responses to restoring resilience.
Target Audience
This course is designed for law enforcement, mental health professionals, victim witness advocates, physicians, nurses, psychologists and community providers and social workers.
