Description

The work to support survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, teen dating violence, and stalking exacts a high cost on advocates. Engaging in a variety of intentional creative practices can help advocates prevent burnout and learn new skills to support survivors.
 Join us for a facilitated virtual writing circle to learn how writing can help advocates in our work with survivors. Together, we will tap into our creative minds and find strength in sharing stories. You don’t need to see yourself as a writer– all are welcome. In this interactive session, participants will explore writing strategies that foster advocate resiliency and can also be used to support survivor healing.
