Due to limited space, agencies should prioritize sending newer dv advocates, or those who would benefit from a refresher. Registration is open to NYS based staff of private, nonprofit, and nongovernmental organizations and programs that have a primary purpose of providing shelter and supportive services to adult and youth victims of family violence, domestic violence, or dating violence, and their dependents. This includes programs that are licensed by the NYS Office for Children and Family Services or have local NY Department of Social Services contracts to provide domestic violence services, either residential or nonresidential.
