A Rural Perspective: Serving Survivors of Domestic or Sexual Violence with Disabilities in Rural Communities
Survivors of domestic or sexual violence with disabilities frequently face barriers to accessing services. When they live in a rural community, they may have an even more difficult time obtaining accessible services. This webinar will provide an overview of the challenges rural service providers face, followed by some best practices and solutions.
Time: 10:00 am PT, 11:00 am MT, 12:00 pm CT, 1:00 pm ET
Date:Wednesday, July 31
Aspiring Ally advocates and trainers will share their journeys of commitment and authenticity in pushing for change in sexual and domestic violence coalitions. Transformation starts with internal change with self, then builds within the organization to the community.
