Alejandro “Alex” Palacios, victim advocacy training manager at NOVA, discusses how ethical practices and professional standards are used to promote advocacy around the world. After giving an in-depth explanation of the definitions of advocacy and ethics, as well as best practices for both, Palacios presents engaging scenarios that entail difficult ethical decisions and considerations. He discusses the importance of being an advocate and of maintaining levels of confidentiality—plus exceptions when privacy cannot be protected— systems of moral values, the NOVA code of ethics and common barriers to making sound ethical decisions.
About the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness
In June 2023, the U.S. Army announced the realignment of the Army Resilience Directorate from G-1, personnel readiness, to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff in G-9. This move formalizes a new prevention governance structure, enabling a community approach to prevention that lowers the risk of harmful behaviors.
The consolidated directorate was renamed the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness (DPRR) on July 1, 2023, and is led by Ms. Dee Geise, former director of SFRD.
