Welcome to NOVA's Training Center!

About This Course: This course provides an introduction to the unique challenges, legal frameworks, and considerations when working with military-connected survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (DVSAS). Designed for community advocates, service providers, and legal professionals, the course emphasizes the importance of collaborative Coordinated Community Response (CCR) Teams with military and civilian partnerships to meet the needs of this population. 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). If you need support, please contact our team at militarytta@trynova.org.    This project is supported by Award No. 15JOVW-22-GK-04039-MUMU awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women.
