Responding to the Needs of LGBTQ People of Color Experiencing SV, IPV, or Stalking
LGBTQ People of Color experience high levels of trauma, discrimination, violence, and oppression based on race,gender, and sexuality. Understanding how racism, homophobia, and transphobia simultaneously affect LGBTQ People of Color is critical when working to provide culturally relevant services to LGBTQ survivors of violence.
This guide is designed to help providers be more informed about the nuanced and complex realities of LGBTQ People of Color. It is for service providers to use when working to reach LGBTQ people and communities of color who are experiencing violence in their lives. It is not a one-size fits all guide but rather a tool that aims to provide context as well as action steps for reaching these communities.
Rural and Tribal Elder Justice Resource Guide: Summit Event Briefing
Summit Event Briefing
November 14-15, 2018
Marriott Downtown 700 Grand Ave.
Des Moines, Iowa
On June 15, 2018, the United States Department of Justice and Department of Agriculture committed to working together to promote elder justice in rural and tribal communities. Elder justice refers to a society’s response to elder abuse, which includes physical abuse, caregiver neglect, financial exploitation, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, and abandonment. Each year in America, at least 10% of older adults (age 60 or older) experience one or more forms of elder abuse. This is unacceptable.
The goal of the Summit and subsequent activities is to enhance the ability of elder justice professionals to more robustly respond to the unique needs of older adults residing in rural and tribal communities by sharing best practices and proposing innovative strategies to fill the identified gaps in service needs, all with the goal of enhancing the lives of older Americans everywhere.
SAFE RETURN: Working Toward Preventing Domestic Violence When Men Return from Prison
The Safe Return Initiative focuses on strengthening domestic violence services for African American women and their children when they are facing the return of an intimate partner from prison. It does this by building culturally specific technical capacity within and cooperation among justice institutions and community-based and faith-based organizations. Its goals are to keep women and their children safe and improve the odds of successful reentry by offering peer-based learning, training, information sharing, and on-site assistance designed to help criminal justice and community-based
organizations better serve African Americans dealing with prisoner reentry.
