Community engagement program (cep):cep raises awareness about the detrimental impact of domestic and sexual violence while promoting access to services, developing meaningful community partnerships and organizing survivors to establish their own awareness and advocacy campaigns. Vip conducts domestic violence workshops and presentations in schools, community centers, senior centers, social service agencies, faith-based organizations, as well as nontraditional settings such as restaurants, doctor's offices and beauty salons throughout New York city. Our promotoras initiative invests in the leadership of survivors of domestic and sexual violence by training them to provide grassroots community education and outreach. Building on evidence-based community health worker (promotora) models, survivors use their own experiences of healing and empowerment to bring a powerful antiviolence message to latina/o/x communities and communities of color. Promotoras are role models that are able to bridge gaps among providers, clients, family members, communities and resources.
