  1. Learning Objectives • To understand the connection between the international and domestic conditions of women survivors • To de-mistify the use of case management and data in the work of supporting survivors • To build an understanding of the necessity of intensive individual follow up and group learning opportunities • To encourage the embrace of collaboration in order to maximize and creatively use resources

  2. SIMILARITY OF EXPERIENCE IN RURAL ENVIRONMENTS • Sense of Isolation • Lack of Transportation • Lack of Access to Jobs • Lack of Access to Relevant Programming • Language Barriers • Limited child care and after school options • Low performing public schools • Stigma of DV • Unresponsive Systems

  3. THE EFFECTS OF INTERSECTIONAL OPPRESSION By intersectional oppression we mean the compounded impacts of DV, class, race, gender, and the politics of sexuality on people’s lives. We understand that this compounded effect can create barriers to personal and family well being and success that challenge the idea that effort creates predictable outcomes. For our clients, efforts do not necessarily lead to desired outcomes. Therefore, in order to best meet the needs of our clients, we: • Need to build on very basic cognitive skills • Need to be trauma-responsive • Need to be culturally responsive
