This exceptional opportunity is tailored for advocates who assist survivors of sexual assault, emphasizing the understanding of compounded and intergenerational trauma through an anti-oppression perspective.
Drawing from the teachings of trauma and wellness experts and seasoned advocates with extensive experience in sexual assault healing and prevention services in Washington State, participants can expect to gain valuable knowledge and practical tools to enhance their advocacy efforts. This conference aims to foster a sense of community and empowerment within the social justice movement, inspiring advocates to create meaningful change in the lives of survivors.
The program will incorporate diverse learning methods, including lectures, videos, guest speakers, somatic practices, and Theater of the Oppressed techniques, ensuring an engaging and transformative experience.
