Digital Harm, Human Impact: Achieving Trauma-Informed Justice in Technology-Facilitated Abuse Cases

August 20th
8:30am – 10am
Online
Training & Education
No Cost

Victims of online exploitation face unique obstacles on their path to recovery. When the trauma of abuse is exacerbated by the presence of digital evidence—including non-consensual images, distribution of child sexual abuse material, or ongoing online harassment—the complexities of healing and securing justice multiply exponentially. This workshop will dissect these challenges, providing investigators, prosecutors, and multidisciplinary members with the critical, trauma-informed strategies required to successfully navigate these cases from initial investigation through long-term recovery support. Participants will gain practical tools for ethical evidence handling, advanced communication, and securing comprehensive redress for survivors. Learning Objectives: Analyze the specific impacts of trauma related to technology-facilitated abuse. Develop strategies for managing secondary trauma risks, including the resurfacing of exploitation material and addressing issues of long-term trafficking. Identify and secure potential remedies for victims such as restitution and forfeiture. Presenter: Kathleen Nolan, JD – Coursing Justice
