This webinar will highlight three U.S. Department of Justice Office of Victims of Crime, Supporting Male Survivors of Violence sites that are piloting new methods of engaging young men of color impacted by violence.
Because of their own past violent victimization, male survivors of violence are uniquely positioned to connect with other survivors of violence with similar lived experiences, to help change their trajectories through a peer-based relationship. By providing leadership, training, and support, these programs are changing the narrative of young men of color by creating opportunities for them to be healers and helpers.
Attendees will learn about these programs' successes, lessons learned, and strategies for supporting positive physical, emotional and behavioral health needs of these young men and empowering their capacities to be leaders in their community.
