UPLC Statewide Gathering
2020-07-14 - 2020-07-16
A statewide gathering for participants in the Underserved Populations Learning Collaborative (UPLC). The goal of the UPLC is to support community-based sexual and domestic violence agencies in becoming strong allies to underserved populations and to promote access to culturally-responsive, comprehensive services. We’ve built a strong statewide network of survivor-centered advocacy agencies, yet we know there are still many survivors not being served, and others for whom existing services don’t adequately meet their needs. This project aims to “expand the circle” and close the gaps, preparing agencies to better provide safety and healing for all survivors.
This initiative is supported through funding and expertise from Department of Social Services (VDSS), Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), and the Action Alliance. These three partner agencies are jointly responsible for designing the Learning Collaborative and are actively engaged throughout the Learning Collaborative, building statewide capacity alongside sexual and domestic violence agencies.
