Description: Session 3: Enhancing Access for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Survivors of Domestic and Sexual Violence - A Conversation
This session will be a facilitated discussion focusing on addressing the issues faced by deaf survivors of domestic and sexual violence, focusing on the barriers that prevent them from seeking services and accessing support. By adopting a culturally responsive and trauma-informed approach, this session will explore the concept of audism, delve into why deaf survivors often do not seek assistance, present relevant statistics, and provide practical strategies for organizations to enhance access and support for this marginalized community.
