SVN Legislative Day 2026
Sept 24th in Washington DC & Virtually

In today's legislative climate, advancing new federal legislation can be challenging. Yet meaningful change continues to happen every day through city councils, county commissions, state legislatures, administrative agencies, and community partnerships. For professionals serving children and families, some of the most impactful advocacy begins close to home.

Join the Supervised Visitation Network for an engaging training and networking event designed to help you become a more effective advocate at every level of government. Whether you're interested in influencing local policy, strengthening relationships with state leaders, or engaging with federal lawmakers, you'll gain practical strategies for turning your expertise into action.

This year's program will feature an experienced statewide lobbyist and legislative advocate who will share real-world insights into how policy is shaped, where advocacy efforts can have the greatest impact, and how organizations of every size can successfully influence change. You'll leave with practical tools, greater confidence, and a clearer roadmap for advancing services for children and families in your own community.

For those joining us in Washington, D.C., the training will also prepare you for meetings with members of Congress and their staff during SVN Legislative Day. Whether you participate virtually or in person, you'll become part of a growing network of professionals committed to strengthening supervised visitation and safe exchange services through thoughtful, strategic advocacy.



Because lasting change doesn't always start in Washington—it often starts in your own community.
