Intimate Partner Stalking

Thursday, October 15th | 12:00pm in Mountain Time

Nearly half of stalking offenders are current or former intimate partners. While all stalkers can be dangerous, intimate partner stalkers are, on average, the most threatening and violent towards their victims. Whether perpetrated during and/or after an abusive relationship, intimate partner stalking can be a form of coercive control and brings its own risk factors and safety planning considerations.

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), SPARC (the Stalking Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center) will provide this webinar to focus on recognizing and responding to intimate partner stalking.

Thursday, December 3rd | 1:00pm in Mountain Time

The work to support survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, teen dating violence, and stalking exacts a high cost on advocates. Engaging in a variety of intentional creative practices can help advocates learn new skills to support survivors and prevent advocate burnout.

Together, we will tap into our creative minds and find strength in sharing stories. You don’t need to see yourself as a writer– all are welcome.
