Building Your Pods: Practicing Healing-Centered Support & Accountability

Facilitator: Johanna DeBari
Audience: Community-based sexual/domestic violence advocates and educators and interested community members
Location: Alliance Training Room, 98 Pitkin St, East Hartford, CT 06108

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.
