I have posted before on looking for assistance with teen support group curriculum on victimization.  I had the most overwhelming and appreciative responses.   I am no in need of training and seminars 3-5 days with reasonable registration fees.  MY program is a non profit program working with all victims of a Violent crime and Family and friends whom have lost a loved one to homicide or vehicular homicide.  If you have any information of training opportunities please send them my way.  Again, we are homicide and violent crime advocates/specialists and it is really hard to find training's that we can get approved to meet our State directors idea of what is appropriate.  I will be honest, ACES is really just starting to be talked about in central Iowa.  Some guidelines to our grants is can not be preventative, but educational. Any training on how to work with families after a not guilty verdict, violence crime training, healing and stepping outside the box with coping mechanisms.  Working with children versus adults, etc. Please flood me with resources and we can sort through what would be a possible fit.

Years ago I took a training with deborah spungen out of the antiviolence partnership of philadelphia sponsored by the federal office of victims of crimes

I have no idea if they are doing this anymore. At the time I was doing a lot of work with families impacted by homicide and the training was fantastic. 

But it is really hard to listen to this material. 

I also went to a meeting of the local chapter of parents of murdered children to get in touch with this group. Hard but excellent

Hello April,

I work with several partners in the community that may be able to provide some direction and support for what you are looking for in the east central Iowa area.  Let me know if you would like to meet, or if you can come to the ACE Stakeholders meeting this Weds. at 9:30am at United Way of East Central Iowa.   There are several health (physical, mental, and behavioral) providers, trauma informed practice presenters, Connections Matter, ACE Interface, and other invested ACE-Trauma-Resiliency focused practitioners and community leaders in the work.  We could provide some guidance, depending on what you are looking for, as it sounds like you are looking for comprehensive and individualized training to your client and agency needs, this would be a great group that could provide that support and feedback.  

Let me know if you would like to connect:
