Listening Session on Sustaining Services for Survivors with Disabilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic

People with disabilities experience victimization at higher rates than people without disabilities, often rely on support people and personal care services to maintain their independence, and are also more likely to experience serious health consequences should they contract COVID-19. With this trifecta of challenges facing the disability community, it is critical that service providers come together to identify strategies for continuing to serve survivors with disabilities amid the call for social distancing. As we rapidly adjust our service models to slow the spread of the virus, we must ensure that our services remain inclusive and accessible to survivors with disabilities. Indeed, we may discover that the changes we make now could result in more access survivors with disabilities.

This listening session is for service providers currently working to provide services to survivors with disabilities are scheduled to provide an opportunity to explore challenges and issues arising during the COVID-19 response. You are encouraged to take the opportunity to share your agency’s needs as you continue to serve survivors with disabilities.

Staying Centered: A Virtual Breather for People Supporting Survivors During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Are you feeling increased levels of stress and anxiety? If you answered yes, know you are not alone. People across the country are mobilizing quickly to ensure services for survivors of crime continue during the COVID-19 crisis. Confronting this new set of challenges in rapidly changing and uncertain times can be stressful.

We are joined by Zoe Flowers – advocate, healer, writer, poet, and filmmaker – in a virtual wellness session. Zoe guides us through a number of activities to help us stay grounded and manage stress and anxiety.
