Building Online Communities of Support

Isolation is one of the biggest challenges survivors of abuse and sexual violence face. The added difficulty of not knowing where to turn for support often deepens this isolation, leading to further trauma. Online communities can provide survivors a vital space to find resources, support, and solidarity. This workshop will explore how providers and organizations involved in anti-abuse and survivor-justice work can utilize social media to create online communities that effectively and more accessibly support survivors.

Supporting the Survivors in Your Life

Unfortunately, sometimes even when we have the best intentions we don’t always know how to support the survivors of abuse and sexual violence in our lives. The fact is abuse affects our communities and loved ones of survivors, as well. These difficult realities with many other obstacles lead to further isolation and challenges for both survivors & their supporters. I hope you will join me at this workshop designed to help bridge this gap.

Unpacking the Truth About Abuse Myths

Sexual assault and abuse myths are false beliefs people hold that shift blame from the perpetrator to the survivor. These incorrect statements shame survivors into silence and damage our community’s general knowledge of sexual assault, dating violence, and abuse. This workshop focuses on dispelling common myths and ways to challenge this type of misinformation when you encounter it.
