This upcoming webinar series will provide guidance and discussion on how DV programs can safely reopen during the pandemic. We will provide an overview of federal requirements for programs, public health considerations and options for addressing the needs of survivors from a trauma-informed and survivor-centered perspective as DV programs are gradually or fully re-opening their shelters and offices for services across the nation.
