Webinar Description:

This 90-minute webinar will highlight two FVPSA-funded Specialized Services for Abused Parents and Their Children (SSAPC) grantees: Domestic Violence Action Center, based in Hawaii, and the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence, and their work with indigenous children and families experiencing domestic violence. Presenters from each demonstration site will share key lessons learned from the past 3 years of their projects, focusing on successes and challenges. The presentation will center the importance of an intergenerational family approach to healing, building authentic partnerships between tribal and non-tribal entities, implementing community-based participatory research methods, and culturally grounded approaches to supporting indigenous children and families’ healing from domestic violence.
