- Participants will augment their knowledge of the national effort to enhance services to victims of color and LGBTQ victims and others from marginalized populations.
- Participants will be able to recognize at least three ways that the identities of domestic violence victims intersect; discuss how that intersection creates additional barriers to service for them.
- Participants will develop a set of strategies that will move them towards becoming more inclusive in partnership with local community organizations.
