  Virtual Summit Beyond Survivors and Abusers Reframing Domestic Violence

  Virtual event

  This 2-day program, which is intended for those working on creating supportive systems of care for anyone involved in domestic violence, will offer a collaborative learning space where participants will explore: what it means to center the voices and experiences of those who are most impacted by violence; what happens when the broader community takes ownership of the problem and solutions to domestic violence; and how do we work toward community awareness and action to close persistent gaps.
