Are you feeling increased levels of stress and anxiety? If you answered yes, know you are not alone. Join us for a virtual wellness session to help manage your stress, as you navigate the many challenges involved in continuing services for survivors during the COVID-19 crisis.

People across the country are mobilizing quickly to ensure services for survivors of crime continue during the COVID-19 crisis. Confronting this new set of challenges in rapidly changing and uncertain times can be stressful. It is critical that we in the crime victims field integrate strategies to manage stress and anxiety into our day-to-day practice. In this virtual wellness session, we are joined by Zoe Flowers – advocate, healer, writer, poet, and filmmaker.

BOYS and MEN of COLOR: COVID-19 Listening Session

Centering Survivors from Underserved Communities
The past few weeks have brought significant and unprecedented changes to our lives and work. While everyone is impacted by the COVID-19 public health crisis, the impact is far greater on people from underserved communities: older adults, people with disabilities, communities of color and so many more. Prior to COVID-19, these communities were already underserved by victim services despite experiencing higher rates of victimization. These same communities have access to fewer resources, which compounds the challenges they already face and the new challenges created by COVID-19.

To ensure these survivors from underserved communities are at the center of all COVID-19 response efforts, we need to better understand the impact this health crisis is having on survivors’ needs and better resource the crime victim services field to respond to their needs. We are hosting a series of listening sessions designed to surface the unique challenges facing survivors from specific underserved communities and to identify solutions. We believe that the collective wisdom and creative-problem solving within our field is needed now more than ever. We invite you to attend and share your perspective.

Voces de conexión y lucha

La epidemia del virus COVID-19 ha creado, y en muchas casos prolongado, el estado de emergencia para organizaciones que trabajan con comunidades marginadas. La incertidumbre, el miedo colectivo, y la ansiedad se intensifican durante momentos como estos. Sin embargo, reconocemos que los planes de seguridad o emergencia no son nuevos para organizaciones que tienen como misión abordar las necesidades de estas comunidades. La mejor herramienta para apoyarnos es crear una hermandad colectiva de recursos y sanación.

Esta serie incluirá voces diversas de líderes Latinxs que están preservando la seguridad ycuidado de sus comunidades tanto a nivel nacional como local durante este tiempo de distanciamiento social.

Se creará un espacio para compartir sus experiencias y aprender unos de los otros

*Luego de la inscripción, recibirá un correo electrónico de confirmación con información para unirse al seminario web.
