West Virginia is one of 36 states developing or presenting State Victim Assistance Academies. The Academies are modeled after the National Victim Assistance Academy; however, they provide state-specific training in victims issues.
BASIC ACADEMY
The Academy provides a 40-hour comprehensive, academic, interdisciplinary and interactive training program for crime victims’ services providers, advocates, allied professionals and others who work with crime victims. The curriculum provides a foundation of victim services and principles to enable participants to more effectively help crime victims regain control of their lives.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND
Victims services providers, allied professionals such as law enforcement officers, prosecutors, probation and parole officers, volunteers, sexual assault advocates, domestic violence advocates, victim/witness staff, and other victim services providers are eligible to apply to attend the Academy.
LOCATION
This intensive, but rewarding Academy will be held on the campus of West Virginia State University, Institute, West Virginia. The Academy will be held in modern classroom facilities in a comfortable learning environment. Participants are required to stay on-site in university housing unless you are in reasonable distance for commuting.
DATES OF THE ACADEMY
The Basic Academy will start on Monday July 19, 2010 and conclude early afternoon on Friday, July 23, 2010. There will be several elective evening activities that students may attend.
