SUMMARY:Virginia Restoryation Report: What lessons did the data teach?
DESCRIPTION:Stories reveal\, help us process\, and reflect. Story circles have been part of our collective human experience across communities\, cultures\, and generations. The process of storytelling and the practice of bearing witness to one another’s stories is one of the most intuitive\, most powerful\, and most ancient medicines we have.   \n  \nVirginia was one of 25 states and territories across the U.S. to participate in Restoryation\, a national storytelling project and needs assessment among professionals working in the movement to end sexual and domestic violence. The primary goals of Restoryation were to employ storytelling to:  \n\nPause and reflect on the impact of the previous 3 years on ourselves and our work. \n\n\nProvide an opportunity for connection and healing through sharing our experiences and bearing witness to each other’s stories.  \n\n\nName what is needed to create a thriving workforce and movement going forward. \n\n  \nJoin us for a brief webinar to learn more about the data that came out of the Restoryation story circles held February-May 2023\, and the Action Alliance’s next steps based on the lessons we learned.   \n

SUMMARY:Emergence: From Wellness to Impact
DESCRIPTION:What: Let’s build relationships\, expertise\, and collective power to position healing-centered communities as catalysts for transformation. We’ll explore your landscapes\, relationship maps\, and readiness with the goal of having a measurable impact on at least one complex problem facing your community.\nWhat are some examples of a community wellness project?\n-Establish once a month free dental/vision/mental health/wellness checks for vulnerable communities at a location that is easy to reach in your community.\n-Ask your community’s teens about what kind of activities or help they need outside of school and make a plan to meet one of those goals.\n-Establish a pilot program in one middle or high school to implement trauma-informed and restorative responses to school discipline issues.\n-Work with community organizers and partners to launch an affordable/workforce housing campaign.\nThere are so many possibilities! \nFor whom: Bring a team! Community Impact Teams are intended to be a collaboration between a sexual and domestic violence agency (SDVA) and 1-2 other community partners. In selecting community partners\, consider how to deepen existing relationships in your work to respond to and prevent violence – for example\, consider a partner working to support healthy child development\, reduce maternal mortality\, or create greater access to community resources that will ultimately lead to thriving families and communities. \nWhy: This is an opportunity for sexual and domestic violence advocates to learn\, organize\, and meaningfully implement with community partners who have shared visions for wellness. \nBreakfast and lunch provided on the 24th. Breakfast provided on the 25th. \nPlease note: The Action Alliance will cover the cost of 1 night lodging for each registrant of this event.
