Securing Housing Options for Participants

Wednesday 12/19/19
12:00 pm Mountain
Providing Tribal Transitional Housing can be challenging, especially because there is often limited options for survivors to find housing on tribal lands. The program often provides rental subsidies for program participants and works with private landlords to access housing options. This webinar will discuss rental subsidies, structures for managing those subsidies, and how to build the landlord relationships to provide housing options for the program.
Building Partnerships with your Tribal Housing Authority

Wednesday 1/9/19
12:00 pm Mountain
Tribal domestic violence/sexual violence programs often do not have a relationship with their Tribal Housing Authority. Tribal Housing can be a valuable partner to the DV/SA program to ensure there are tribal housing options available for transitional housing participants. This webinar will examine the roles of the Tribal Housing Authority and strategies for the tribal DV/SA program to build a critical, lasting relationship that can support the housing needs of survivors.
Mandated Reporting

Wednesday 1/30/19
12:00 pm Mountain
Mandated Reporting can be daunting for an Advocate to know when they are required to make a mandated report. As Transitional Housing Advocates, we will come in contact with survivors’ lives in a way that may make it necessary for us to make a mandated report. This session will discuss what mandated reporting is and what the Advocate role is in making a mandated report. It will provide direction on how to make the decision to report and whom the report should go to.
Women’s Education Groups

Wednesday 2/13/19
12:00 pm Mountain
One of the tactics of power and control is isolation. Often those in your transitional housing program will have experienced isolation through loss of friends and family relationships due to the abuse. Women’s groups offer an opportunity for transitional housing participants to come together, build interpersonal relationships with each other while exploring topics of interest to program participants. This session will discuss women’s groups provided by the Haseya Advocate Program operated by Red Wind for native survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and dating violence. It will cover a range of topics and Haseya’s women’s group curriculum.

This project is supported by Grant No. 2015-TA-AX-K069 awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in any of these webinars are those of the author(s)/presenter(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.

Tribal Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examination Protocol

This project is currently underway. Red Wind is working closely with practitioners from the field and the Office on Violence Against Women in the creation of this document for OVW. Through meetings, conference calls and numerous communications with tribal sexual assault advocates, law enforcement, prosecutors and health care practitioners, the protocol is becoming a tool that can be used by tribes and critical partners responding to Native victims of sexual assault.
