This presentation will explore some of the critical tools available to protect survivors of domestic violence: domestic violence protection orders (DVPOs) and extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs).
The discussion will cover the mechanics of seeking ERPOs, supported by current trends and data, as well as key points for effective implementation. Practical considerations will be provided to help survivors navigate the decision-making process regarding whether to pursue a DVPO or an ERPO, ensuring that they are equipped with all the tools available to make the safest decision for their situation.
