Minnesota Children’s Alliance (Alliance) is excited to host CAC Advocacy with Vulnerable Adult Populations, with Kylee Pass, advocacy and prevention program coordinator with First Witness 9 – 11 a.m., Thursday, April 20, 2022, via Zoom HealthCare.
Training Overview
Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC) historically provide developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed care to children and adolescents, and their families. Vulnerable adults who report sexual abuse or assault also benefit from this holistic model of care. This training supports victim advocates working in CAC’s that currently or are considering supporting vulnerable adults in a multidisciplinary team response. Using the Six Core Principles of Social Change Advocacy, participants will learn how to meet the unique needs of this population. The training will cover institutional supports and barriers, and how to implement the systems change model within the CAC model.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will gain knowledge and understanding of the history of advocating for vulnerable adult populations.
- Participants will learn how to ground advocacy for vulnerable adult populations in the Six Core Principles of Social Change Advocacy.
- Participants will gain an understanding of how to advocate for the inclusion of vulnerable adults into their multidisciplinary team’s CAC model.
