Upcoming FVIP Training

Ethics of an FVIP: Accountability, Safety and Justice

FVIPs, working as a part of a coordinated community response, can play an integral role in maximizing a survivor’s chances for safety and justice. Multi-level accountability is needed to make this possible.

In this training, FVIPs will:

• Unpack and re-examine the role of accountability and its intended outcomes
• Learn, re-learn and critique tools FVIPs use in classroom settings
• Discuss where FVIPs turn for accountability for their programs and their facilitators.

 

Trainers: Dr. Gus Kaufman, Jr. and Satyam Barakoti.

All trainings are held from 9:00 am –3:00 pm.
