SUMMARY:Getting Human Service Agencies the Answers They Need: A Toolkit for Sustainable Data Use
DESCRIPTION:Join researchers from Chapin Hall and others for this webinar on a new toolkit to help agencies build the culture and infrastructure needed to apply data analysis routinely\, effectively\, and accurately— referred to as “sustainable data use.” Join them as they discuss some of the key strategies and tools included in the Toolkit that can serve as a helpful resource for building sustainable data use in human service agencies.\n\nUsing data to improve human services programs is becoming commonplace. Agency administrators\, researchers\, and policymakers increasingly turn to applied data analytics to evaluate programs or inform evidence-based policy. The applications of the data may vary but the goal is the same: to improve the lives of the families served. More recently\, service agencies have been pursuing a broader goal: to move from data to knowledge to action not just once\, but routinely\, creating a reinforcing cycle of evidence-building and program improvement. Through funding from the Office of Planning\, Research\, and Evaluation (OPRE)\, Chapin Hall and MDRC created a toolkit  Panelists include: Emily Wiegand\, Senior Researcher & Analytics Manager\, Chapin Hall Rose Geoghegan\, Associate Researcher (Data Analytics)\, Chapin Hall Emma Monahan\, Senior Researcher\, Chapin Hall Melissa Wavelet\, Senior Fellow\, Center for Data Insights\, MDRC Alysia Cox\, Child Welfare Assistant Deputy Director\, Strategy and Innovation\, Oregon Department of Human Services Jennifer Holman\, Family Preservation Program Manager\, Oregon Department of Human Services.\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Current State of Knowledge Regarding Fraud and Abuse Committed by Guardians or Conservators
DESCRIPTION:Join the Elder Justice Initiative for their webinar on the Current State of Knowledge Regarding Fraud and Abuse Committed by Guardians or Conservators. Over the past few years\, the roles of guardians and conservators have received significant attention. This is driven\, at least in part\, by incidents or allegations of fraud or abuse by the guardians and conservators against the individuals they are supposed to protect. To better understand these matters\, the National Institute of Justice commissioned a report\, Environmental Scan of Guardianship Abuse and Fraud (released September 2023). In this webinar\, the report’s authors will share a summary of the findings and recommendations. \nRegister for the webinar. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tools to Support Campus Sexual Assault Prevention and Response
DESCRIPTION:Sexual violence is a significant criminal justice problem with long-term effects for its victims. In particular\, sexual assault on or related to college campuses across the United States presents a growing public health and economic burden\, starting with significant impacts on academic outcomes. The long-term goal of the NIJ-funded Campus Sexual Assault and Response (CSAR) study is to support the development of policies\, protocols\, training\, and interventions to prevent and strengthen responses to CSA by campus public safety agencies in partnership with campus health and wellness centers. This NIJ-sponsored presentation pairs two tools to support campus staff. First is a checklist to inform and prepare campuses for effective prevention and trauma-informed CSA responses. Second is the trauma and research-informed uSafeUS® Campus Violence Prevention and Response Mobile App and accompanying administrator dashboard\, providing both sexual violence prevention and post-violence response features to support survivors and direct students to on and off-campus resources 24/7. \nWebinar Learning Objectives: \n\nRecognize the importance of multi-level\, collaborative approaches to prevent and respond to campus sexual assault.\nCharacterize the approaches to support student protection and policy adherence\, advance administrative relationships\, 24/7 prevention messages\, and real-time information for survivors and their allies.\nDescribe protocols for integrating new tools into administrative systems to prevent and respond to CSA through trauma-informed approaches.\n\nLearn More and REGISTER

SUMMARY:Perceptions of Justice for Domestic Violence Survivors: Recent Findings and Implications for Practice
DESCRIPTION:In this Center for Victim Research webinar\, researchers from the Urban Institute will present findings from a recent study on the perceptions of justice\, accountability\, safety\, and healing – including the effectiveness of traditional responses and restorative practices – held by diverse survivors of domestic violence from traditionally underserved groups. The study also examined the extent to which there is alignment between survivors’ and practitioners’ perspectives of justice. This webinar will offer insights from both the researchers and their practitioner partners about the gaps in knowledge this study fills and the recommendations that emerged for direct service providers\, legal system professionals\, alternative justice programs\, policymakers\, and funders. \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nPresenters: \nMalore Dusenbery is a principal policy associate in the Urban Institute’s Justice Policy Center\, focusing on victimization generally and gender-based violence in particular. Her research\, evaluation\, and technical assistance aim to improve victim services\, increase access to justice\, and foster collaboration between researchers and practitioners. She also serves as associate director of the national Center for Victim Research. \nClaudia Nmai is a research assistant in the Urban Institute’s Justice Policy Center. She works on research and policy projects related to victimization\, victim safety\, and responses to harm. Before joining Urban\, Nmai held research positions within the sociology department at Stanford University and interned at the Stanford Center for Racial Justice. \nOrchid Pusey is the executive director of Asian Women’s Shelter\, which provides a range of culturally-grounded violence intervention and prevention programs\, as well as trainings and technical assistance\, systems advocacy\, and collaborative leadership. She founded AWS’s 40 Hour Community Interpretation Training Institute (CITI) and Multi-Lingual Digital Storytelling Project. Orchid specializes in trauma-informed organizational development and advocacy; violence prevention in LGBTQ communities; and community-based participatory research and evaluation. \nLearn more and REGISTER

SUMMARY:Hidden in Plain Sight: The Intersection of Brain Injury\, Strangulation\, Gender-Based Violence\, Housing Insecurity and Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Gender-based violence often involves physical violence targeted at the head\, neck\, and face—through blows to the head or strangulation. Though this has been common knowledge for decades\, brain injuries caused by violence are unacknowledged\, rarely identified and almost never immediately treated. Both survivors of violence and professionals that work with them have been largely unaware of brain injury as a significant consequence of violence. Brain injuries can cause physical\, emotional\, and cognitive consequences that can impact every area of a survivor’s life—including their ability to successfully access and participate in services\, maintain employment\, secure and sustain housing\, and meet self-sufficiency goals. \nThis webinar\, hosted by the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center\, will introduce CARE (Connect\, Acknowledge\, Respond\, Evaluate)\, Ohio’s evidence-based framework developed by the Ohio Domestic Violence Network and The Ohio State University. CARE is a brain injury aware\, trauma-informed approach focusing on accessibility and accommodations with practical\, hands-on\, free tools\, strategies\, and resources to support your work. \nREGISTER
