The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Violence Against Women (OVW), and the Battered Women’s Justice Project (BWJP), are offering an interactive virtual training for custody evaluators guiding their work with families experiencing domestic violence. Evaluators will learn from a team of judicial officers, custody evaluators, and civil-legal advocates experienced in handling these cases and developing creative solutions to the challenges they present for evaluators. Participants will leave this training with a nuanced understanding of how domestic violence impacts family dynamics and a framework for approaching their work and minimizing the harm to the adults and children involved.
