Event Dates
Location
Virtual
In observation of National Crime Victims' Rights Week, NOVA is offering a series of three brown bag webinars.

In this webinar, Alicia "Kozak" Kozakiewicz will share her story of surviving an Internet luring, abduction, and captivity. While Alicia's experience may be harrowing, her ability to transcend tragedy and dedicate herself to protecting other children is inspiring. She will discuss the aftermath of recovery and the process of reunification. Alicia will provide alternative practices for handling endangered child cases and give unique insight into the phases of abduction, survival, recovery, family reunification, and resilience. She will also discuss how the current pandemic presents a heightened risk for internet luring while children are currently at home all day.
