Talk on VAWA and U Visa

On October 13, Susan Kolb gave an hour long presentation on VAWA and the U Visa available to victims of domestic violence and crimes.  The staff of Chihuahua Medical Associates participated in a training on domestic violence and its effects on undocumented victims.  These special immigration visas have given hope to many victims who fear taking action to protect themselves.  Health care workers are particularly well placed to identify victims and give them the support and referrals they need to escape abuse.
