TRLA’s 20th Annual Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Cross-Training


  • The Westin San Antonio North 9821 Colonnade Boulevard San Antonio, TX, 78230 United States (map)

TRLA’s Annual Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Cross-Training is an opportunity for legal advocates to learn from each other and share best practices.

Attorneys, community advocates, and social workers receive training from local, statewide, and national experts on a wide range of topics and issues affecting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, including housing issues, technology and safety, stalking prevention, and the anatomy of how a criminal case is prosecuted.

The conference provides vital opportunities for networking, information sharing, and education to provide advocates with tools to better serve survivors in Texas.
