Please join the DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence and La Clínica del Pueblo for an advanced training on providing culturally specific and relevant services to Latinx survivors of domestic violence in DC. This event will discuss the safety needs and considerations of Latinx survivors, and will provide advocates with tools and best practices for working with Latinx survivors in their programs and community. The 3-hour workshop will be led by Entre Amigas, and is designed for advocates and service providers working to empower survivors and their families in DC. The training will be conducted primarily in Spanish and spoken English, and additional interpretation is available upon request by emailing sthompson@dccadv.org.
