Event Details

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A SHORTER VERSION OF THE INITIAL TRAINING SERIES OFFERING.
Digging Into the Roots of Advocacy is a THREE-SESSION training series designed to strengthen advocates' confidence, critical thinking, and practical skills for supporting survivors of gender-based violence. We hope to create space to build relationships, wrestle with real-world challenges, and strengthen the collective wisdom that already exists within the advocacy community.

This series will examine how identity, power, oppression, and social systems shape survivor experience and the essential need for our advocacy to be rooted in self-determination and trauma informed practice. Throughout this time together, we will:

  • Explore the foundations of survivor-centered advocacy
  • Dig deeper into the dynamics of abuse, coercive control, trauma, and the systems survivors navigate every day.
  • Learn to navigate complex situations with greater confidence and compassion.

By the end of the series, participants won't just leave with new tools, they'll gain connections, greater confidence, and a community of advocates committed to learning from and supporting one another.
Registration Deadline is October 2nd, 2026
