Countdown to NTI!

What is NTI?

The National Training Institute — or NTI for short — emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to sharing promising practices, current research, and effective programs and policies that are victim-centered, practice-based, and research-informed. NTI is a forum for law enforcement, victim service professionals, allied practitioners, policymakers, and researchers to share current developments and build new collaborations.

When & Where is NTI?

Hear what past attendees say about the National Training Institute!

I absolutely loved having the plenaries and breakout sessions involving actual survivors speaking and/or leading the sessions…I got helpful insights from sessions who had survivors talking about their assault.

The staff and the communication was outstanding. The opportunities to easily connect and network was by far the best I’ve experienced.

Thank you so much for all your hard work.
