Webinar: Development and Implementation of Domestic Violence High-Risk Teams in Rural Communities


Rural survivors are at higher risk for lethality for many reasons including longer response times from law enforcement, greater distances to live-saving medical treatment, limited access to nearby domestic violence shelter or transitional housing, and limited access to public transportation. Yet few rural communities have Domestic Violence High-Risk Teams in place. This session will provide information about the importance and effectiveness of Domestic Violence High-Risk Teams in rural communities and how to form and implement one.
