CORE COMPETENCY TRAINING COMING IN JULY!

NYSCADV developed the Core Competencies Curriculum to assist in the training, onboarding, and professional development of DV advocates within New York State.

REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

NYSCADV believes reproductive rights are human rights. The recent Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which effectively overturned Roe v. Wade, causes grave concern as it is removing a critical health option for millions of people.

Calling All Prevention Educators: An Invitation to Join the

New York State Prevention Community Listserv!

The New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NYSCADV,) and our partners at the New York State Coalition against Sexual Assault (NYSCASA,) are delighted to announce that we will be joining together to host and moderate prevention related discussions via our established prevention listserv.

The New York State Prevention Community Listserv will be a discussion group jointly hosted and moderated by the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NYSCADV) and the New York State Coalition Against NYSCASA (NYSCASA.) The purpose of this listserv is to provide a forum for discussion, sharing resources and support, and a mechanism for collaboratively developing tools and strategies that can be utilized to support prevention strategies at the local, regional and statewide levels.

Listserv subscribers are comprised of prevention stakeholders across the state, which includes but is not limited to: member programs of both NYSCADV and NYSCASA, NYS partner agencies, community partners, organizational allies and funders. Any prevention educators and member program staff tasked with designing and implementing prevention activities, programming, and strategies in their community are encouraged to subscribe and contribute to what will surely be a robust statewide dialogue.

What you need to do:

If you are an individual who was already a member of the NYSCADV's Prevention Community Listserv, you don't need to do a thing. You are automatically subscribed to the "new" listserv. If you have not already joined, please take a moment to sign up by clicking here.

Please allow up to 5 business days for processing. You will receive a welcome email once processing is complete.
