The Survivors of Violence Empowerment Programs are part of a collaborative partnership between the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence (MCEDSV) and the ACCESS Community Health and Research Center through Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) IMPACT. For more information on this partnership, please visit the link to the CDC site: https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/intimatepartnerviolence/delta/impact/.
The SVE programs focus on the integration of community members and agency staff in order to create awareness and mobilization around harmful issues such as Intimate Partner Violence, Sexual Violence, and Sexual Assault. Working with a culturally specific community presents unique barriers that enable us to create innovative methods for addressing these issues within community spaces. Cultural sensitivity and competency are at the core of all programming expectations, ensuring that we are delivering nuanced approaches when targeting sensitive topics.
The SVE programs focus on mobilizing community members to take action; while fostering an environment that allows community members to promote healthy relationships through community collaborations and collectively working towards ending Intimate Partner Violence.
