I’ve had a couple requests this week about research looking at the role of advocacy specifically. In compiling some of the literature, I stumbled across this offering by the Battered Women’s Justice Project, presented by Dr. Cris Sullivan: Is Advocacy Effective? A Review of the Research. The session will be held November 20th at 2pm Central. If you aren’t familiar with Dr. Sullivan’s work, I highly recommend attending this session. For the medical folks, this is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the research that supports the importance of advocacy in the health and well-being of our intimate partner violence patients.

A request for distribution from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (some of you have seen these resources before, but it’s worth reposting them):
To assist efforts in disaster-stricken areas, NSVRC collaborated with several organizations in the field to establish The Relief Fund for Sexual Assault Victims www.nsvrc.org/relief-fund.
We are working to increase donations to the fund. Help us by sharing the Relief Fund Flyer in your community.
