Presentation Format:
Innovative/Promising Practice Program Report
Description:
I will be introducing the Native American Silent Witness Program and the importance of their role in promoting Domestic Violence Awareness. I will discuss the use of Navajo Traditional attire and appearance as appropriate to cultural sensitivity and beliefs that often become barriers. These unique props displayed in both a clinical and outreach settings are powerful methods to generate questions and open dialogue in a safe environment.
