Programming:
October 7th focuses on shelter-specific programming, recognizing the unique operational challenges, innovations, and expertise within residential GBV services. This dedicated day creates space for shelter teams to dive deep into issues most relevant to their daily work. This day is NOT OPEN to all attendees—it is exclusively for the shelter community (GBV, transition houses, second-stage housing, and homeless)
October 8th & 9th expand to welcome the full spectrum of our GBV community, bringing together shelter staff alongside colleagues from crisis lines, counseling services, prevention programs, advocacy organizations, and other community-based GBV services.
This structure ensures that every participant receives both specialized content relevant to their role and broader sector insights that enhance collaborative approaches to ending gender-based violence.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
