Five Trainings Offered for Kentucky's New
Interpersonal Protective Orders (IPOs)
KCADV will hold five free, one-day trainings on Interpersonal Protective Orders in partnership with the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs (KASAP) and the UK Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women. The trainings will focus on the prevalence of dating violence with high school and college students and how schools and universities can help students access IPOs. The first training is in Elizabethtown. Click

Interpersonal protective orders (IPOs) are court-ordered protections designed to prevent further acts of dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
IPOs can require abusers to stay away from a victim's home, school, workplace, or other locations the victim frequents. They can also require abusers to cease contact with a victim in person, electronically, or through third parties, such as family or friends. These protections, a result of HB 8 which was passed by the Kentucky General Assembly in 2015,
became effective Jan. 1.
The trainings are made possible by a grant from the Kentucky Bar Foundation. To register, click

Allstate Agents Gather School Supplies
for The Center for Women and Families
Center for Women and Families President and CEO Marta Miranda, Allstate Corporation's Southern Regional Headquarters Corporate Relations Division Manager Allison May, Allstate Insurance Agent Debbie Williams, and Allstate agents and their employees.
More than 100 children served by The Center for Women and Families started school with backpacks and other school supplies donated by Louisville area Allstate agents earlier this month.
The agents and their staff members accepted donations at their offices from July 18 to July 29. More than 100 backpacks were donated, along with enough glue sticks, pencils, crayons, scissors, and markers to fill each one. In 2015 The Center provided shelter and transitional housing to 346 people, including 162 children, and non-residential services to 6,958 people, including 575 children.
"While this campaign will end today, our goal is to bring a little more awareness to DV. We hope people will think about the cause, and we hope people will be compelled to think about how they can get involved," said Allison May, Corporate Relations Divisions Manager at Allstate Corporation's Southern Regional Headquarters.
