Description: In 2021, the Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services made a historic investment for COVID-19 testing, vaccines, and mobile health unit for domestic violence programs, tribes, and underserved communities. With a focus on increasing access to care for survivors and their families, domestic violence programs and coalitions across the country are working to promote medical advocacy for survivors and capacity building and support for the DV workforce with these funds. Join this webinar to discover how these funds are being used in innovative ways to meet the health needs of survivors! It is not too late for programs, jurisdictions, and states to draw down these funds and promote survivor health before the end of the grant in September 2025.
