Webinar
Preparing for DVAM: Tribal Coalitions Talk about Advocacy, Futures, and Ending DV in Tribal Communities from 2025 - 2026
Every October, domestic violence (DV) awareness is observed nationally to raise public understanding of the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV). Tribal programs and Native advocates nationwide turn their attention to this critical human rights issue that impacts all Native communities and Tribal Nations. This webinar is a panel discussion on the significance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) and how it affects programming and advocacy year-round. The panel will also review how they follow up on post-DVAM events, what that process may involve, and how it strengthens advocacy. Lastly, Tribal coalitions will share stories of their successes and challenges and how they use those experiences to enhance efforts for the coming year and prepare for DVAM 2026.
