The Prosecuting Attorney Association of Michigan’s Victim Services Training Unit will present “Cases with Colleagues” online Thursday, December 4, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
The PAAM Victim Services Training Unit (VSTU) invites prosecution office based victim advocates to join together for a peer-to-peer discussion about case situations victim advocates encounter.
VSTU will facilitate this discussion, encouraging attendee participation as an opportunity for victim advocates to share challenges they face in their cases with peers sharing constructive avenues to move forward positively.
Victim advocates encounter multiple challenges as they navigate the criminal justice system with crime victims. Some of those challenges include helping a victim through a case that is dismissed or when there is an acquittal; cases with multiple victims; advocates working on multiple cases at one time in multiple courtrooms; working with child victims; interacting constructively with community service organizations; cases with out of town victims; difficulties in effectively communicating with other participants involved in the case; cases where it seems nothing is going right and more.
Victim advocates can take advantage of this opportunity to share the challenges they are facing in their cases and provide mutual support to work toward positive outcomes.
The training session will be provided at no cost to participants. To register, visit https://michiganprosecutor.org and click on “training.” In order to confirm participation, it is necessary to complete the entire registration form.
Anyone with questions may email Alex McGowan at mcgowana@mipaam.org
This training is supported by a Crime Victim Rights Award. This award was made to the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan by the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Victim Services.
