New Neighbors Statewide Training Conference

The New Neighbors Victim Outreach Project is sponsoring a free, comprehensive cross-training for victim service providers and refugee service providers.
This conference will cover a wide range of topics (see below) specifically chosen to increase understanding of the specific cultural issues facing Vermont's refugee and immigrant populations. Refugee service providers will also have the opportunity to learn the basics about crime victimization, the services currently available in Vermont, and how to get help for community members or clients they serve in the course of their work.

You are encouraged to register now by emailing Will Roberts: willroberts@ccvs.state.vt.us. A more detailed registration brochure will be sent to you next week. You will be able to indicate your choices of workshops as well as any special needs you may have. We want everyone who is interested in this topic to attend! If you are not fluent in English, we will do our very best to provide an interpreter for you.

Please contact me with questions: bwhitchurch@ccvs.state.vt.us or 802-241-1250 ext. 112.

Thanks, Barbara
