EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
Learn about trainings, webinars, events, and resources for professionals responding
to sexual assault of American Indian and Alaska Native people.
With our organization’s mission always in mind, we present relevant educational opportunities to tribal community providers that may be helpful in your process to help victims of sexual assault. We strive to find new strategies for delivering training needs for complex circumstances being in remote communities for tribal health care providers, victim advocates, health aides, tribal courts, prosecutors, and other providers serving American Indians and Alaska Natives, and addressing the challenges victims face in tribal communities.
Here are upcoming webinars relevant to advocates and providers who wish to learn more in this field, or keep your knowledge current. These webinars may not offer CEUs and/or credits. See our Training pages as there may be more relevant training opportunities that meet your needs.

Crime scene staging research has found that most offenders who stage crime scenes are male, most victims are female, and the most common victim-offender relationship involving staging is intimate partner relationships. Therefore, this course focuses on detecting staged crime scenes in intimate partner-related deaths.
