Description

Join us for a session dedicated to enhancing accessibility at rape crisis centers to ensure that all survivors, including those with disabilities, receive the support and services they need. This session will explore a comprehensive approach to accommodations, examining a variety of accommodations, why they may be useful, and how they can be effectively integrated into your center’s operations. Participants will gain insights into existing policies and identify barriers that may prevent survivors from accessing services. We will also provide a detailed review of intake policies and procedures designed to maximize accessibility. By the end of this session, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to create a more inclusive, accessible, and supportive environment for all survivors.
