Remote Court Hearings and Virtual Advocacy 2.0*
Presented by: Beth Assell and Nikki Kelly

Post-pandemic Minnesota is shaping up to be a hybrid of pre- and mid-pandemic practices. Minnesota courts and advocacy are likely to continue using virtual options as a part of this “new normal”. The presenters, a Standpoint Attorney/Advocate team, will present the recommended practices for accessing and participating in remote hearings, tips for providing advocacy via digital platforms, and discuss opportunities and emerging issues presented by virtual technology. The goal of the webinar is to help professionals and the victim-survivors that they are assisting to feel comfortable in the virtual environment. *This presentation is an update to a previous webinar that is currently available on Standpoint’s YouTube page

Intercultural Effectiveness: Moving from conversation to action-based advocacy
Presented by: Ikram Osman and Kia Whittier of Standpoint

It’s crucial when working with victims/survivors that organizations are not only examining their approach to collaboration and outreach, but also addressing internal policies and practices that impact the dignity and well-being of BIPOC communities. In this presentation, Ikram and Kia will establish a working framework for social justice concepts, followed by a discussion on collaborating with non-traditional stakeholders, agency responsibility, and moving from conversation to action.
