Join the National Organization for Victim Assistance team as we welcome presenters Dr. Elizabeth "Gizzy" Gray, LCSW, CAC, CA and Darren Mitchell, J.D. for a comprehensive discussion on how firearms being present in Domestic and Dating Violence cases increase ones risk and lethality, how to eliminate identified training gaps as it pertains to firearms, and keys to success moving forward.

Attendees will be provided a resource list with several Department of Defense Instructions, examples of forms addressed throughout the webinar, and other useful links and information.

As a result of this webinar, participants will be better able to:

(1) Advocate for the implementation in their communities of the key components of an effective firearms surrender program in civil protection order cases, including those involving military-connected families.

(2) Contribute to a collaborative military-civilian response to firearms in domestic violence cases, providing a pathway to safety for victims and moving beyond an honor system for respondents who have access to firearms.

A certificate of completion will be provided to all attendees.
