Halting Abuse of Vulnerable Adults Education Network

Through Project HAVEN, the Institute for Disability Studies has formed a consortium with the Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the Mississippi Coalition Against Sexual Assault, the Coalition for Citizens with Disabilities, and the Mississippi Attorney General's Office to

  • provide on-site training and consultation statewide to law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges in recognizing, addressing, investigating, and prosecuting domestic violence, sexual assault, abuse, and neglect of adults with disabilities and the elderly
  • disseminate up-to-date resource materials related to abuse and sexual assault of adults with disabilities, including older adults, to front-lines police officers, trainees at the training academies, prosecutors, court officials, and university criminal justice programs
  • develop and continually update a Project HAVEN Web page with FAQ's, a calendar of events, and links to online training modules and resources
  • plan and hold an annual conference that focuses on promising practices in response to abuse and violence against individuals with disabilities and the elderly

All consortium agencies have committed key personnel representing their most experienced and knowledgeable staff to provide high quality training to law enforcement training academies, prosecutors, and judges.

Project HAVEN provides training to the Attorney General's Office and the Mississippi Judicial College as well as annual conferences sponsored by other organizations and projects.

Project HAVEN is a project of the Institute for Disability Studies at The University of Southern Mississippi. The project is supported by Grant No. 2004-EW-AX-K015, awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U. S. Department of Justice.
