Request for Speaker Proposals for the 6th Annual Wyoming Conference for Violence Prevention & Response
Proposals Due: Friday, May 27 by 5:00 pm (MST)
The Wyoming Conference for Violence Prevention and Response (WyoCVPR) Planning Committee is accepting proposals for the 6th Annual WyoCVPR, Lifting Voices: Stories for Healing, Transformation, and Relationship Building, September 21-23, 2022, tentatively scheduled to take place in Cheyenne, WY.
A primary understanding of the WyoCVPR Planning Committee is that now, more than ever, survivors, advocates, and communities are faced with compounding and ever-changing obstacles on their paths for healing, transformation, and relationship building. However, we know that through thoughtful and critical dialogue, change is possible. With this in mind, our vision is to generate a conference environment reflective of lifting stories and storytelling to change the narrative in prevention and responses to violence.
We’re interested in proposals that reflect the 6th Annual WyoCVPR theme, along with:
- Anti-oppression approaches on response to and prevention of violence;
- Counter-narratives to violence, with specific reflection of marginalized populations;
- Collective impact work related to prevention and responses to violence;
- Integration of rural/frontier community solutions; and/or
- Local Wyoming work that builds participant knowledge and is action-oriented
Proposals must be submitted only through this link: https://bit.ly/3L2ZyMO.
Submissions are due Friday, May 27, 2022 by 5:00 pm (MST). The 6th Annual WyoCVPR Planning Committee will review submissions and selection notification will be given no later than Friday, June 10, 2022.
If you have any questions, encounter any barriers in submitting your proposal, and/or find electronic submission inaccessible for you, please contact Jody Sanborn at jsanborn@wyomingdvsa.org or 307-684-2454.

Flexible Funds to Reduce Education, Employment, and Job Training Barriers for Survivors
With support from The Allstate Foundation, the WCADVSA has funds to support education, employment, and job training barriers for survivors. These funds can be used to help support survivors in obtaining G.E.D.s, job skills training, certifications, licenses, continuing education, education/job-related supplies such as uniforms, tools, and/or other equipment, transportation-related support, etc.
If your program is offering training on the Allstate Moving Ahead Curriculum or other economic empowerment training, you may request funds to support and encourage survivor participation such as offering food and/or childcare during economic empowerment events or gas gift cards for survivors to get to the training.
Member programs may also inquire about offering scholarships to help support survivor participation in job training programs such as CLIMB Wyoming.
Funds must be spent by June 30, 2022. We have approximately $2,853.00 remaining. Remaining funds will be pledged on a first come first serve basis. To request funds, please submit an Allstate Barrier Reduction Request Form. Once your request has been approved, your program will pay expenses upfront and then you can request reimbursement by submitting an Allstate Barrier Reduction Reimbursement Form.
While it is not required for participants to utilize the Allstate Moving Ahead curriculum to access these funds, financial planning and management is a life-long process and this online curriculum is designed for domestic violence survivors and can help provide the guidance and tools needed to make important financial decisions and work toward gaining long-term financial security.
If you have any questions, please connect with Trish Worley

Senate SAAM Resolution Passes!
On April 28, the U.S. Senate passed a bi-partisan resolution in support of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Thanks to the efforts of Senators Feinstein and Grassley for leading the effort.
Click here to read the full text of the resolution.
“Talking about sexual assault is difficult but necessary if we’re going to empower victims to speak out,” said Senator Feinstein. “A sexual assault occurs almost every minute in the United States, but most will go unreported. Our resolution will help raise awareness, combat this problem and lift the stigma that prevents too many victims from coming forward.”
“Facing the trauma of sexual assault can seem insurmountable, and survivors deserve the comfort of knowing they are not alone. So it’s important that we take steps to bring attention to the services and support available to survivors, honor them by doing all we can to prevent future offenses. This resolution shines a bright light on the scourge of these ugly crimes and encourages communities to come together to support survivors,” said Senator Grassley.

NNEDV Congressional Briefing to Launch the #DVCounts Report
May 10, at 12:00 pm MST
Facebook Live
Join the NNEDV on Facebook Live on Tuesday, May 10, at 2:00 PM ET for a bipartisan Congressional briefing to launch the #DVCounts Report! They will be joined by Members of Congress and those impacted by domestic violence to share why the report is such a critical tool in our work to create change for survivors, advocates, and programs across the country.
For the sixteenth consecutive year, on September 9, 2021, the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) conducted our Domestic Violence Counts Survey: a one-day, unduplicated count of adults and children seeking domestic violence services in the United States. This annual survey documents the number of people who sought services in a single 24-hour period, as well as the types of services requested, the number of service requests that went unmet due to a lack of resources, and the issues and barriers that domestic violence programs face as they strive to provide services to victims of domestic violence.
The NNEDV Domestic Violence Counts Report summarizes the results of this survey and includes policy recommendations based on these results. This annual report is instrumental in raising awareness about domestic violence and the incredible work that local domestic violence programs do every day. Year after year, state and local advocates, national experts, journalists and reporters, and policymakers from both sides of the aisle rely on the report to understand the realities faced by advocates and survivors.

Live Demo: Safe Stays by ReloShare
May 5, 2022 from 8:00 - 9:00 am MST
We know that booking safe, anonymous hotel stays for survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and community violence has always been a time-consuming and frustrating process -- hours spent finding available rooms, negotiating with the hotel front desk, scrambling to find an agency credit card, and driving roundtrip to the hotel to check the guest in.
There had to be an easier, better way.
Safe Stays by ReloShare is a new,free-to-use hotel booking website designed to make it faster and easier to book hotel rooms for crime survivors. Now, Safe Stays users can search for and book rooms at hotels under an alias and with no credit card or ID requirement at check-in.
Join the Safe Stays team on May 5th, 2022 at 10:00am ET/9:00am CT on Zoom to learn more about our platform through a live demo and to learn how social service agencies can sign up today to start booking hotel rooms for survivors in crisis.
The demo will be recorded for ReloShare's records.
This event will be conducted in spoken English. ASL and spoken language interpretation are available upon request. In order to ensure that interpreters are available, please submit any language access requests to safestays@reloshare.com at least 5 business days in advance of the event date.

Q&A On Privacy Planning Challenges When Survivors Enter Shelter or Relocate
May 9, 2022 from 12:00 - 1:00 pm MST
You are invited to a virtual Q&A session focusing on Privacy Planning Challenges When Survivors Enter Shelter or Relocate, May 9 from 2-3 pm Eastern. This session will focus on key questions and concerns for survivors about their phones, accounts, and other technology when they are coming into shelter or relocating elsewhere.
When survivors relocate or go into shelter, privacy planning is essential to reduce the risks that they might be found by the abusive person. Survivors’ information and location are connected to phones and other devices and to accounts and apps. What questions and challenges come up as you work with survivors? The Safety Net team will answer your questions and help think through the challenges that come up in those first crucial days and weeks when a survivor leaves an abusive person.
Closed captioning will be provided, and additional accessibility requests can be made at registration. The session will be recorded.

16th Annual DV Counts Congressional Briefing Invitation
May 10, 2022 from 12:00 - 1:00 pm MST
The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) invites you to attend a Congressional Briefing to discuss the findings of their 16th Annual Domestic Violence Counts Report. The briefing is scheduled for Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at 2:00 PM ET. Join them on Facebook Live.
The briefing will feature a discussion moderated by NNEDV President & CEO Deborah J. Vagins with panelists Alexandra Appleton (Domestic Violence Survivor), Antonia Vann Drew (Director and Founder, The Asha Project), and Jonathan Yglesias (Policy Director, Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance) and will be held in cooperation with U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), U.S. Representative Lucy McBath (D-GA) and U.S. Representative John Katko (R-NY).
The 16th Annual NNEDV Domestic Violence Counts Report tells the story of domestic violence programs in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, the victims they serve, and the consequences of insufficient funding. The report is an annual count of adults and children who seek services from U.S. domestic violence shelter programs during a single 24-hour survey period. It documents the number of people who sought services, as well as the type of services requested, the number of service requests that went unmet due to a lack of resources, and the issues and barriers domestic violence programs face as they strive to provide services to domestic violence victims.
On the day of the survey, local programs were unable to meet more than 9,400 requests for services—primarily requests for emergency shelter and housing—because programs lacked sufficient resources. The briefing will highlight our findings to raise awareness about domestic violence and the funding and policy changes needed to support the essential work local domestic violence programs do every day.
Read the full report and the state and territory summaries here.

The Healthy Masculinity Training Institute
May 18 - 20, 2022, Online
This spring, take advantage of the chance to bring healthy masculinity to your community by joining Men Can Stop Rape (MCSR) at the online Healthy Masculinity Training Institute (HMTI). This dynamic, interactive train-the-trainer opportunity is a chance for you to develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities around violence prevention and engaging boys and men. Participants will learn the scientific theories, strength-based approach, and dynamic exercises that are part of MCSR’s 25-year history. Whether you are looking to build a program or simply learn more about healthy masculinity, this training is a resource for you.
“This institute was fantastic! MCSR has excellent facilitators and always made it feel like a safe space to share personal experiences or opinions. The training modules were informative and has given me confidence to continue living as man and not feel like my values or emotions I express are wrong. I definitely took away many skills and ideas on how I can engage with the youth I currently coach or teach, but also the men and youth in my community in which I work.” —Alex E., Westerville (OH) Division of Police
