SF Healing Roots Collaborative Series P5: We Are All Needed to End DV

This is the 5th episode of our six-part SF Healing Roots Collaborative Series. It features a discussion with Saara Ahmed and Su Young Jung of Asian Women’s Shelter (AWS). This episode is a stern reminder that although we have organizations we regularly work with; we don’t always know the various ways our partner organizations show up for the community. AWS is a huge resource for language accessibility in the SF area, they are providing a need they see the community needs, which is so important in DV work.
