>From the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC), Crime Victims Services (CVS), and Social Solutions: Learn what research and resources are available to help victim-serving agencies measure their activities and improve their impact. Register here<http://www.socialsolutionsmail.com/app/crm/marketing/campaignlistener.nl?__lstr=__cl&c=906252&__h=2d731e22280aaa27479e&__r=3621716&_od=aHR0cHM6Ly9mb3Jtcy5uZXRzdWl0ZS5jb20*&url=https://cc.readytalk.com/r/lbeo4ixqyu1b&eom>.

Susan Howley of NCVC will offer insight into why the victims services field is moving increasingly towards measuring outcomes and delivering evidence-based programming, and what that means for service providers. David Voth of CVS will address how practitioners can contextualize programs in terms of specific outcomes and indicators to help connect staff efforts with participant outcomes, using tools like logic models. Nicole Geller of Social Solutions will address what technological supports exist today to help providers measure those program efforts and improve participant outcomes.

On a related topic, there is an article mentioned in this week's "Monday Missives" from Anne Seymour regarding a new National Institute of Justice Journal article discusses using more rigorous research methods to evaluate victims' services programs and their effectiveness.  It can be accessed at http://www.nij.gov/journals/274/Pages/ipv-victim-services.aspx.

In this workshop, we will outline barriers faced by individuals accessing mainstream agencies with culturally-specific needs, offer insight into the development of culturally-specific support in mainstream agencies, as well as provide case examples of co-advocacy with culturally-specific service agencies.

New Resources:

OJJDP's Juvenile Court Statistics Briefing Book is now available http://ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/njcda/pdf/jcs2011.pdf The Briefing Book is a comprehensive online resource describing various topics related to delinquency and the juvenile justice system, including the latest information on juveniles living in poverty, teen birth rates, juvenile victims of violent crime, trends in juvenile arrest rates, and youth in residential placement facilities. The Briefing Book is also a repository for more detailed presentations of juvenile court data than are found in the annual Juvenile Court Statistics report.

Psychological maltreatment is the subject of a recent study and report entitled "Unseen Wounds:  The Contribution of Psychological Maltreatment to Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Risk Outcomes<https://t.e2ma.net/click/dcl4n/lqlgrj/do2tce>."  The report is published in Psychological Trauma:  Theory, Research, Practice and Policy<https://t.e2ma.net/click/dcl4n/lqlgrj/tg3tce>, a publication of the American Psychological Associatio<https://t.e2ma.net/click/dcl4n/lqlgrj/983tce>n.
Psychological maltreatment, or PM, is particularly challenging to identify because of its intangible nature.  And while it can be perpetrated by anyone, its most pernicious form is that perpetrated by parents and/or caregivers.  The researchers note that "available evidence and guiding theory suggest that PM inflicted by a primary caregiver in early childhood, or chronically throughout childhood and adolescence, is more deleterious to a child's overall development."
