Community Connection: Building Pathways to Confidential Advocacy

Rural survivors are often connected with advocacy organizations by word of mouth from family, friends, and neighbors. Establishing clear linkages to refer survivors to advocacy can further increase their sense of community and support in rural areas.

Join Bree Adams Bill and Maren Woods as they explore what rural communities can do to connect more survivors with advocates.

During this session, we will:

• Share ideas: look at ways to expand advocacy outreach to rural survivors through linkages with community partners.
• Consider possibilities: discuss the benefits and challenges of implementing a referral process from community services to confidential advocacy.
• Offer resources: share existing tools to increase community-based advocacy programs' connections with survivors.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about how to strengthen community partnerships to get more survivors connected with advocates!
