SUMMARY:Advocate Wellness Experiences: Practicing the Pause
DESCRIPTION:Guided by the perspective that there is more power in pausing than relentlessly pushing through – join us to explore and co-create new ways of being in our work. A “third” way that calls for an intentional and critical paradigm shift in the anti-violence movement\, from reacting to the crisis of burnout towards building healing-centered capacity to respond to and even prevent it; to not just survive\, but to thrive. \nTogether\, we will unpack the impacts of this work and try on practices that support recentering ourselves amidst it. Our time will be reflective\, interactive\, experiential\, joy-filled\, and will embrace spaciousness and pauses. This session is also intended to nurture connections among fellow wellness allies\, and ready us with insight and practices to continue our work whole and well. \nEach session will be organically tailored to hold space and provide practices for the current needs of the field and the experiences and intentions of those who register. After registering\, participants will be asked to complete a survey to fold in your perspective on how to meaningfully craft the session. In addition\, the weather and unique location and space of each session will inform our time together.

SUMMARY:State and Local Partners Meeting
DESCRIPTION:These interactive quarterly gatherings of advocates\, preventionists\, sexual and domestic violence agency administrators\, state funders and other partners serving survivors of violence are opportunities for connection and collaboration on the local\, regional\, and state level. The State and Local Partners Meetings are a unique forum for agencies to share their expertise and experiences from the front lines with funding partners who would like to learn more about emerging trends\, needs\, and celebrations among our communities. \nThis invitation is open to advocates\, preventionists\, funders\, and other partners serving survivors and/or supporting community education on healthy relationships. Our time together will be spent learning from each other\, engaging in discussion on statewide issues\, sharing valuable resources\, etc. \nAll four meetings in 2025 will be virtual\, meeting via zoom from 10am – noon. We anticipate that participants are coming prepared to engage in conversations that will continue to move forward the work of ending sexual and domestic violence here in the Commonwealth. \nAt this meeting\, we will be joined by staff from The Tahirih Justice Center\, a national nonprofit organization serving immigrant survivors of violence\, to do a brief workshop on supporting and safety planning with survivors who are immigrants.
