The goals of this training are to:

• Enhance the knowledge and understanding of service providers and advocates who work with Native women who use violence and gain a better understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence in tribal communities and how the effects of intergenerational trauma can still be seen today.
• Provide participants with knowledge in offender accountability and how to engage women in best practices.
• Strengthen coordination and collaboration among community stakeholders to form a more efficient coordinated community response.
• Maximize the capacity and expertise of our service providers and advocates to support communities in improving accountability and improving outcomes for Native men who use violence and provide a forum to share best practices and learn from the experience of other tribal BIP providers.
