Welcome to NOVA's Training Center!

Safety planning with military-connected survivors requires navigating complex systems, limited autonomy, and overlapping jurisdictions. In this session, we’ll examine how to assess risk and create realistic safety plans for survivors living on or off base. Participants will explore the unique barriers survivors face and develop practical strategies grounded in survivor autonomy. Case studies and tip sheets will help anchor learning.   This project was supported by Grant No.15JOVW-24-GK-03011-MUMU and 15JOVW-22-GK-04039-MUMU awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice.

Through expert-led presentations and interactive knowledge checks, participants will develop the skills to collaborate effectively across military and civilian systems, create tailored interventions, and build coordinated responses to support military-connected survivors. This course is developed through the "Advocating for Military-Connected Survivors" project funded by the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women.  The Project Mission is to provide trauma-informed and survivor-centered training and technical assistance (TTA) that empowers legal personnel, victim advocates, and allied professionals to support military-connected survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (DVSAS).
