SUMMARY:Survivors Supporting Survivors in the Movement
DESCRIPTION:Thur. June 29\, 2023 from 1-2pm\nTopic: Supporting fellow survivors in the anti gender-based violence movement who are LGBTQ+.\nThe Community Engagement program at CAASE invites fellow service providers working in the anti-sexual violence movement to our quarterly gathering: Survivors Supporting Survivors in the Movement. We will discuss a new relevant topic each time. \nZoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2651574307 \n \nAbout Survivors Supporting Survivors in the Movement:\nThese gatherings will give support\, visibility\, and voice to people working within the movement who have a lived experience of surviving sexual harm. \nFor far too long there has been an unspoken understanding within the movement that in order to work most effectively and maintain professional standards we must deny or minimize our identity as a survivor. This only serves to further reinforce the stigma and shame associated with sexual harm that we are working so hard to change. \nFacilitated by Anika Sterling Florez\, our quarterly gathering of survivor service providers will give us a space to discuss many issues specific to survivors working in the movement in order to support the work of helping other survivors. \nZoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2651574307

SUMMARY:Survivors Supporting Survivors in the Movement: Self-Care During SAAM
DESCRIPTION:Thur. March 30\, 2023 from 1-2pm\nTopic: Self-care and Mental Health During Sexual Assault Awareness Month\nThe Community Engagement program at CAASE invites fellow service providers working in the anti-sexual violence movement to our quarterly gathering: Survivors Supporting Survivors in the Movement. We will discuss self-care and mental health during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. As the community prepares for a busy April\, come discuss how we can also be prepared to care for ourselves.\n\nZoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2651574307\n  \n\nAbout Survivors Supporting Survivors in the Movement:\nThese gatherings will give support\, visibility\, and voice to people working within the movement who have a lived experience of surviving sexual harm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor far too long there has been an unspoken understanding within the movement that in order to work most effectively and maintain professional standards we must deny or minimize our identity as a survivor. This only serves to further reinforce the stigma and shame associated with sexual harm that we are working so hard to change.\nFacilitated by Anika Sterling Florez\, our quarterly gathering of survivor service providers will give us a space to discuss many issues specific to survivors working in the movement in order to support the work of helping other survivors.\n\nZoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2651574307

SUMMARY:Survivors Supporting Survivors in the Movement
DESCRIPTION:March 31\, 2022 at 3pm CDT\nTopic: The Emotional Toll SAAM Takes on Survivors Working in the Gender Based Violence Movement\nThe Community Engagement program at CAASE invites fellow service providers working in the anti-sexual violence movement to our quarterly gathering: Survivors Supporting Survivors in the Movement. These meetings will give support\, visibility\, and voice to people working within the movement who have a lived experience of surviving sexual harm. \nJOIN THE ZOOM MEETING \nFor far too long there has been an unspoken understanding within the movement that in order to work most effectively and maintain professional standards we must deny or minimize our identity as a survivor. This only serves to further reinforce the stigma and shame associated with sexual harm that we are working so hard to change. \nFacilitated by Anika Sterling Florez\, our monthly gathering of survivor service providers will give us a space to discuss many issues specific to survivors working in the movement in order to support the work of helping other survivors. \nIn March we will meet on 3/31 at 3pm. The topic is “The Emotional Toll SAAM Takes on Survivors Working in the Gender Based Violence Movement.”  \nAll future gatherings will be held virtually via Zoom once a quarter\, future dates and times TBD. \n\nJOIN THE ZOOM MEETING \n\nMeeting ID: 912 9652 9212\nPasscode: 158550

SUMMARY:Speaking Poetry to Power: A writing workshop.
DESCRIPTION:Speaking Poetry to Power: Surviving Something is a workshop about navigating what we’ve survived. What has always been true and is becoming more and more amplified these days is that we’re all surviving something. From generational trauma to institutional brutality\, we’re in a cultural moment of confronting that which needs to be called out into the open\, examined and ultimately healed. Facilitated by Nikki Patin\, Founder/Executive Producer of Surviving the Mic and Community Engagement Director for the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation\, in collaboration with The Voices and Faces Project. This workshop will explore the writing of survivors of sexual violence\, as well as works from Melissa Harris-Perry\, Assata Shakur and local Chicago writers that inspire us to write our own pieces exploring the power\, beauty and necessity of both resilience and resistance. \nPart of the Printers Row Lit Fest\, located on South Dearborn Street\, from Ida B. Wells to Polk Street.
