A Focus on Regional Crisis Response Teams: Working a Familicide Through a Case-based Lens

In this training, participants will hear a first-hand account from the victim witness professional who responded to a 2014 Washington County, VA familicide. Using a case-based training approach, participants will connect research, theory, and practice as they work together in breakout groups to discuss their reactions and responses if faced with a similar situation. In addition, participants will hear from a panel comprised of the victim services professionals who collaborated on this case. Participants will be exposed to crisis response best practices rationale, regional-level need for coordinated crisis response teams, and how to access a regional response in Virginia.
