Thank you to everyone who joined KCSDV for the 2026 Crime Victims’ Rights Pre-Conference Training and for being part of a critical, cross-agency conversation about safety, prevention, and survivor support.

We are especially grateful to Christina Love for leading a powerful and engaging conversation grounded in her work as an Indigenous storyteller, survivor, and national advocate. Drawing on years of experience training professionals across the country, Christina brings a unique approach that blends storytelling, cultural knowledge, and trauma-informed practice to help systems better understand and respond to survivors. Her work challenges assumptions, centers lived experience, and equips professionals with tools to respond in ways that build trust, respect autonomy, and promote long-term healing.

Through this training, participants explored how domestic violence, trafficking, homelessness, and economic instability are deeply connected, and how those intersections increase vulnerability for survivors across Kansas. The conversation pushed us to question common myths, rethink how harm shows up in our communities, and strengthen coordinated, culturally responsive approaches to support.



These conversations matter. When we come together across systems, listen to survivors, and rethink how we respond, we build stronger pathways to safety, accountability, and support for all survivors.
