Trainings

The Prosecutors Alliance provides free virtual trainings for prosecutors and victim advocates and an annual in-person conference.

We have two types of monthly trainings. Our Third Thursday trainings are free trainings on the law, prosecutorial practice, and criminal justice policy, aimed at prosecutors across the country. CA MCLE credit is available for all of these trainings, including General Education and other specialized MCLE categories. Our Survivor Center trainings held on the first Tuesday of the month are free trainings that provide victim advocates, prosecutors, and allies the knowledge and tools to effectively support survivors of crime. CA MCLE credit may be available.

Trauma Responsive Training Certificate

The Prosecutors Alliance Trauma Responsive Victim Advocacy Training Certificate is designed to empower victim advocates with the skills and knowledge needed to compassionately and effectively support individuals and communities impacted by trauma from crime victimization. This unique curriculum addresses a critical gap by focusing specifically on helping victim advocates understand the effects of trauma on crime victims, implement trauma-responsive approaches in their work, and prioritize preventative care to mitigate secondary trauma. The program spans five weeks, with each week dedicated to a different facet of trauma response and care. In addition to the live online trainings, participants will have weekly readings and self-guided work. Training participants will receive a certification after completion.
