Peer to Peer Training: A Virtual Peer Led Primer on Responding to our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives
NIWRC is pleased to announce a Peer-to-Peer Training Opportunity for tribal domestic violence programs and shelters to build and strengthen their capacity and response to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives. This Peer-to-Peer training is co-sponsored by the Puyallup Nation in Washington state. Although originally intended for in-person, we have made the difficult decision to go virtual, due to public safety concerns. We have attempted to create a “virtual field trip” experience for all participants. Final agenda is pending. This Peer-to-Peer training will feature:
- Welcome from tribal leadership
- Carolyn DeFord and her work to address MMIW-R
- Cultural Presentations from Tribal Culture Keepers
- Review of Tribal Programs, including DV Shelter, Social Services, Law Enforcement and Tribal Court Personnel
- Virtual Tour of Cultural Center and Fisheries
- NamUS
- Policy and Legislative Updates
- Healing—Traditional and Cultural Practices
- Technology
- Self-care Activities
- Resources, toolkits
- Orange Shirt Day event by the Puyallup Child Advocacy Center
- Remember My Name
- See What's Happening in Canada
- And much, much more
Facilitators:
- Gwendolyn Packard, Technical Assistance & Training Specialist, NIWRC
- Carolyn DeFord, Puyallup Nation
Registration Fees:
- Free
This workshop is made possible by Grant Number 90EV0452 from the Administration of Children, Youth and Families, Family and Youth Services Bureau, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
