DV-Disability
Online Discussion List is a discussion group that allows New
York State domestic violence program advocates,
disability-related service organizations, and Deaf service
providers the opportunity to exchange ideas and information,
raise questions, network, and share resources and successes
throughout the state on the topic of domestic violence
experienced by women with disabilities or who are Deaf. We will
also use this list to coordinate training and outreach
activities, as well as the provision of technical assistance.
Discussion
group membership is limited to domestic violence programs,
disability-related service organizations, and Deaf service
providers. New members are encouraged to join and all applicants
will be screened to determine if they qualify for membership.
The Empire Justice Center, the New York State Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, and the Center for Disability Rights will
serve as administrators and monitors of this discussion group.
Members should
be aware that this discussion group is not confidential and
postings to the listserv will be received by a diverse group of
service provider members across the state. Postings to DV-DISABILITY
do not constitute legal advice or services. Upon admission to
the discussion group, you will receive further listserv
