exploitation and violence, both domestic and sexual, against the elderly and individuals with disabilities.
Advocacy Collaboration Training
ACT to End Violence Against Women with Disabilities
Day one, in collaboration with the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence and PAL: An Advocacy
Organization for Families and People with Disabilities, planned a Train-the-Trainers program for Rhode Island professionals and advocates in the fields of domestic violence, sexual assault, and disability services.
The workshops consisted of interactive sessions to give participants a comprehensive understanding of domestic violence, sexual assault, disability and their intersection. One of the most important components
of the workshop was the opportunity to bring together professionals in the fields of sexual assault, domestic violence and disability advocacy for the first time to network, problem-solve and build
partnerships for prevention and safety planning. Additionally, information on how to effectively facilitate discussion and train on these issues was an integral part of the Train-the-Trainers program.
One of the main training materials, given to participants, was a Resource Guide of services available to individuals with disabilities, and those who work with them. This Resource Guide is used by Rhode Island
professionals in the domestic violence, sexual assault, and disability fields to make referrals, obtain information, and further collaborative efforts being made by all those trying to better serve people in our
communities. We provided comprehensive agency information including agency hours, languages spoken, and brief descriptions of any advocacy, counseling, or direct services available to individuals with disabilities.
This project is supported by Grant #2004-FW-AX-K021, an Education and Technical Assistance Grant to End Violence Against Women with Disabilities, awarded by the Office of Violence Against Women, Office of
Justice Programs, United States Department of Justice.
