The National Center for Victims of Crime, in conjunction with the Oregon Department of Justice, Crime Services Division, Oregon State Bar, and the Oregon Coalition against Domestic and Sexual Violence, will be offering a free training seminar for criminal justice practitioners, victim advocates, mental health therapists and other allied professionals.

The program will cover resources and strategies for victims considering civil lawsuits, and will include a panel of attorneys to answer specific questions of Oregon law.

The seminar runs from 9:00 am to 4:30 p.m. It will be held on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013 at the Portland Community College, The Event Center at Rock Creek, 17705 NW Springville Rd., Portland, OR 97229. Continental breakfast and a complimentary lunch will be provided.
