The West Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), West
Virginia Victim Compensation Fund, and West Virginia State University
are pleased to announce West Virginia's second West Virginia State
Victim Assistance Academy in July 2010.

West Virginia is one of 36 states developing or presenting State Victim
Assistance Academies. The Academies are modeled after the National
Victim Assistance Academy; however, they provide state-specific training
in victims issues.

BASIC ACADEMY
The Academy provides a 40-hour comprehensive, academic,
interdisciplinary and interactive training program for crime victims'
services providers, advocates, allied professionals and others who work
with crime victims. The curriculum provides a foundation of victim
services and principles to enable participants to more effectively help
crime victims regain control of their lives. 

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND
Victims services providers, allied professionals such as law enforcement
officers, prosecutors, probation and parole officers, volunteers, sexual
assault advocates, domestic violence advocates, victim/witness staff,
and other victim services providers are eligible to apply to attend the
Academy. 

LOCATION

This intensive, but rewarding Academy will be held on the campus of West
Virginia State University, Institute, West Virginia. The Academy will be
held in modern classroom facilities in a comfortable learning
environment. Participants are required to stay on-site in university
housing unless you are in reasonable distance for commuting.

DATES OF THE ACADEMY
The Basic Academy will start on Monday July 19, 2010 and conclude early
afternoon on Friday, July 23, 2010. There will be several elective
evening activities that students may attend.

 

The West Virginia Victim Assistance Academy Student Application is
attached.
