2018 NLADA Annual Conference--Resilient Justice

This panel discussion will help organizations develop culturally competent domestic violence education and outreach programs through community empowerment. Panelists will share their own challenges in expanding outreach and services to Native American and immigrant populations. We often "speak at" people to define domestic violence and how to resolve intimate partner violence in families and communities. This panel will challenge the traditional mode of outreach and suggest a methodology based instead on listening to communities, identifying cultural resilience, and uplifting cultural practices that address violence against women.
