• National Network To End Domestic Violence: WEBINARS

          During a public health crisis such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, when public health officials recommend “social distancing”
          to slow the spread of infection, technology tools may help support shifting to a remote workplace, mobile advocacy, and  
          communicating with survivors. In considering new technology, survivors must be at the center of our decision-making. This    
          is true in ordinary times and must still apply even in a public health crisis. National Network to End Domestic Violence’s Safety  
          Net Project  hosted 4 webinars in March to discuss considerations for using digital services during the COVID-19 pandemic.           Each webinar was recorded and posted at TechSafety.org.
          To supplement these webinars, please visit resources specifically for the COVID-19 pandemic, and our entire Digital Services  
          Toolkit in English and in Spanish.
