Victims of Domestic, Sexual Violence’ focus of webinar

The Prosecuting Attorney Association of Michigan’s Violence Against Women Project and Victim Services Training Unit will present the online training “Working with Victims of Domestic and Sexual Violence” on Tuesday, April 30, from 1 to 4 p.m. via Zoom.

Whether new to prosecuting violence or sexual assault cases, or new to prosecution altogether, this training will provide insight on how to work with victims who have experienced circumstances and trauma unique to these crimes.

This 3-hour training will be facilitated by Jeannie Wernet, PAAM’s victim advocate specialist; Dana Deasy, training attorney for the Violence Against Women Project; and Nora Geiger, chief assistant of the Branch County Prosecutor’s Office, and previously the victim services coordinator for Calhoun County.

This will be an interactive training as opposed to a webinar, so participants should come ready to share questions, experiences, and insights. This training is now open to APA’s and AAG’s only
