Certification Academy
Our Victim Service Practitioner Certification Academy certifies 100-120 professionals at the state level each year. The service providers we train include community-based advocates, system-based advocates, law enforcement, prosecutors, clergy, therapists, and many others.
Webinars & Advanced Training
Our webinars and advanced training provide practitioners a means to remain engaged and challenged in the work and renew their understanding of emerging practices as we enhance our support of crime victims.
Peer Support for Advocates
Occasionally NCVAN offers unique trainings that incorporate peer support related to preventing vicarious trauma and fostering resilience. Some events are provided as an online series, and some are multi-day, immersive learning experiences in restorative and replenishing retreat-like settings.
Victim Advocates in Law Enforcement (VALEs) Network
VALEs is a unique statewide network of professionals that help improve service consistency, job understanding, and expertise that victim advocates can provide to a law enforcement response.
