Civil protection order guide for improving practice training and technical assistance project

The National Council Of Juvenile And Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) received a $300,000 cooperative agreement award from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) to conduct the Civil Protection Order Guide for Improving Practice Training and Technical Assistance Project. The two-year project, awarded on October 1, 2021 and concluding on September 30, 2023, will provide training and technical assistance to communities under OVW's Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA #16.526). This program aims to help communities forge partnerships to effectively respond to violence against women through the provision of critical resources. Specifically, the NCJFCJ project will develop and distribute a guide to improve civil protection order practices, while also offering training and technical assistance to further support community responses that protect victims of domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
