Criminal Justice System Response Trainings (CJSRT)
What is CJSRT?
Criminal Justice System Response Trainings (CJSRT) are designed to enhance local family violence systems collaboration, create a networking opportunity and build a more consistent community response to family violence. CJSRT provides your organization an excellent opportunity to inform community members about the quality services available to family violence survivors, offenders and their children.
CJSRT is provided at no cost to organizations or attendees. The training offers continuing education for many disciplines. Eight trainings will be offered in Texas between March 2010 and July 2010 with a maximum attendance of 100. Each selected organization will have the option to indicate three topics that will most benefit the local community. Texas Council on Family Violence will provide presenters who are experts on the following topics:
- Immigration Law and Family Violence
- Protective Orders
- Texas Laws Affecting Victims of Family Violence
- Systems Coordination
- Culturally Competent Responses to Victim Needs
- Law Enforcement Strategies for Effective Prosecution
- Youth and Family Violence
- Mental Health and Family Violence
- Child Protection Response to Increase Family Safety
CJSRT is made possible through the Criminal Justice Division of the Texas Governor’s Office.
