Idaho Safety & Resilience Conference

TRAUMA-INFORMED, VICTIM-CENTERED TRAINING, BEST PRACTICES, AND TIMELY ADDRESSING EMERGING TRENDS

Intro

The Idaho Council on Domestic Violence & Victim Assistance (ICDVVA) and Building Hope Today are proud to partner on the 2025 Safety & Resilience Conference!  

Description

The conference brings together multidisciplinary team professionals working in the areas of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, stalking, and human trafficking to share knowledge and data and facilitate collaborations that will strengthen systems and enhance services for victims of crime in Idaho.

Attendance is capped at 500 people – Sign up fast!

The conference focuses on tactical training and practice, as opposed to being academic in nature.

The conference planning committee is committed to including diverse participation and perspectives to provide insights and highlight innovative approaches to meet the needs of crime victims and the agencies and systems providing victim services.
