Building Your Pods: Practicing Healing-Centered Support & Accountability

In this workshop, we’ll engage in dialogue around our understandings of care, support, and accountability in regards to responding to harm. We will explore the healing-centered framework as a resource for intimate violence prevention and response, and supporting everyone impacted by this violence. Finally, we will practice pod-mapping as a tool for resourcing ourselves and those we love, when we need support, when we’ve done harm, and when we are supporting others. Overall, I hope this workshop inspires participants to see healing-centered support and accountability as valuable tools of intimate violence prevention and response.

This workshop is intended for community-based sexual/domestic violence advocates and other interested folks.
