Description

To honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Futures Without Violence, Activating Change, and Disability Rights Florida invite you to join us for a 90-minute webinar on how to support survivors of domestic violence with disabilities in accessing workplace protections. This webinar will focus on the intersection of disability and domestic violence, the role the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) can play in helping a survivor with disabilities keep their job, and how to request reasonable accommodations under both survivor-specific state laws and the ADA. This webinar is open to everyone but is intended for grantees of the Office of Violence Against Women (OVW). American Sign Language (ASL) and Spanish interpretation will be available for this event. Our team will make every effort to support your participation and accommodate requests made by October 12, 2026. Habrá interpretación ASL y en español para este evento. Nuestro equipo hará todo lo posible por atender otras solicitudes realizadas antes del 12 octobre 2026 .
