Session 1: Partnerships, Practices, Policies and Products to Support COVID-19 Testing, Vaccines and Mobile Health Units for Survivors Tuesday, December 7th, 2021 11:00am PST/ 2:00pm EST Register here: http://go.futureswithoutviolence.org/e/858853/ster-WN-XbR0fXk7RLiI76WpJPgq2w/p71yx/197502329?h=eoBVLT_kB2mEfw1xru5mMdPtsn2XUF_Ox5dQ4_rOyQY
The key to effectively implementing survivor-centered COVID-19 testing, vaccines and mobile health units is building partnerships between health and domestic violence programs. Health centers and domestic violence programs are natural partners given their shared mission to improve the health, wellness, and safety of their patients and clients. They are in a unique position to coordinate their care to meet survivors’ safety planning and health care needs, and to promote prevention. During this session, lessons learned and promising practices from previous initiatives addressing the intersection of domestic violence and health, mental health, and/or substance use will be highlighted. Strategies for building partnerships will also be discussed. In addition, available training and technical assistance resources to support domestic violence survivors’ access to COVID-related health and behavioral health services, will be reviewed as well. Considerations for policy and systems change to ensure sustainable improvements will also be discussed.
Session 2: Increasing Access to Support Services for Survivors Tuesday, January 11th, 2021 11:00am PST/ 2:00pm EST
Register here: http://go.futureswithoutviolence.org/e/858853/ster-WN-MAbcBsgaRNOsa9ukp7VDGg/p71yz/197502329?h=eoBVLT_kB2mEfw1xru5mMdPtsn2XUF_Ox5dQ4_rOyQY
Systemic health inequities increased vulnerability to COVID-19 for many survivors. It is critical for any efforts to address COVID-19 to increase access to culturally relevant, trauma-informed care that considers the unique needs and experiences of marginalized communities. This session will provide strategies for meeting survivors where they’re at—in their communities, in their unique healing journey, and in ways that reduce stigma, shame and blame. Speakers will include practitioners from a range of settings working with diverse communities, with a focus on long term partnerships and systems change to promote the health and wellbeing of survivors.
Session 3: Promoting Workforce Wellness and Resilience Tuesday, January 25th, 2021 11:00am PST/ 2:00pm EST
Register here: http://go.futureswithoutviolence.org/e/858853/ster-WN-Kpn3zIIWQ72PPlR7qufDTA/p71z2/197502329?h=eoBVLT_kB2mEfw1xru5mMdPtsn2XUF_Ox5dQ4_rOyQY
Promoting staff wellness in the workplace during COVID-19 is critical, given high rates of stress, little or no access to child care, and increased financial insecurity. Staff wellness is especially important for health providers and advocates, as they are both frontline workers. During this session, participants will learn about workforce wellness and resilience strategies ARP funding can support that reduce staff turnover and contribute to COVID-19 mitigation that can be adapted for use in a diverse range of work settings and communities.
