In 2021, NYSCADV hosted a series of events aimed at elevating the needs of survivors who have been criminalized as they navigate New York’s criminal justice system. Each event will probe the unique role DV advocates have in providing supports to survivors throughout their journey.

Part 1: Join Rev. Sharon White-Harrigan, LMSW, Patrice Smith and Monica Szlekovics in a discussion about the scope and scale of IPV survivor criminalization, the needs of survivors who have been criminalized, and the need to remove barriers to assist IPV survivors as they navigate the various stages of the criminal justice system.

Part 2: Best Practices for Supporting IPV Survivors Who Have Been Criminalized
Join a panel of victim service organizations currently providing comprehensive support services to criminalized survivors. Participants will learn the specific harm the criminal legal system causes to IPV survivors and the value of grounding supportive work in the tenets of healing-centered, anti-oppressive practice. Panelists will describe how their organizations initiated their criminalized survivor support programs, the benefits and challenges of the work, and new opportunities for supporting criminalized survivors with passage of the Domestic Violence Survivor Justice Act.
