Working with Native Families

Presenters: Vicki Ybanez & Jeremy NeVilles-Sorrel

While some tribes are working on establishing or expanding their visitation services for families experiencing domestic violence, the reality is that resources are still too few and many Native families needing supervised visitation services are being served by non-tribal visitation providers. This training will explore considerations for Safe Havens grantees that work with Native American clients, including framing issues that impact families such as oppression, poverty, and racism. Additionally, grantees will have the opportunity to learn and discuss engagement strategies, cultural considerations, and service delivery.
