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.

La epidemia del virus COVID-19 ha creado, y en muchas casos prolongado, el estado de emergencia para organizaciones que trabajan con comunidades marginadas. La incertidumbre, el miedo colectivo, y la ansiedad se intensifican durante momentos como estos. Sin embargo, reconocemos que los planes de seguridad o emergencia no son nuevos para organizaciones que tienen como misión abordar las necesidades de estas comunidades. La mejor herramienta para apoyarnos es crear una hermandad colectiva de recursos y sanación.
Esta serie incluirá voces diversas de líderes Latinxs que están preservando la seguridad ycuidado de sus comunidades tanto a nivel nacional como local durante este tiempo de distanciamiento social.
Se creará un espacio para compartir sus experiencias y aprender unos de los otros.
*Luego de la inscripción, recibirá un correo electrónico de confirmación con información para unirse al seminario web.

The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the rapidly evolving circumstances in which we find ourselves present an opportunity for us to come together and tackle these unprecedented challenges together. Survivors need victim services now more than ever. Protecting against the spread of COVID-19 is creating new dynamics and barriers to services for survivors. It is also creating an urgent call to action for advocacy programs.
How do we stay connected with survivors and continue to provide support, especially to those with the fewest resources and in greatest need, while also keeping our programs, staff, and communities healthy? We need each other now more than ever to solve these challenges. We know that survivors and advocates are resilient and our collective strength will carry us through these unprecedented and unpredictable times.
We invite you to join us for a series of discussions where we tap into this strength and one another’s creativity to solve the challenges before us together.
