This Thursday Portland Women’s Crisis Line will host a workshop on self-care for survivors and co-survivors of sexual assault, followed by an open-mic Speak Out.
Self-care is a critical part of the work that we do, as survivors, peer-educators, and activists. To put closure on the April series of workshops related to Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we will gather to share tips and tools for taking care of ourselves as we learn about this important issue. For some of us, this means finding ways to heal following a sexual assault, or strategies for sustaining ourselves while supporting a loved one through their healing process. For others, it may mean discovering how to remain active and engaged in without becoming overwhelmed or disillusioned.
Following our conversations around self-care, we will hold a Speak Out. Share your stories, poems, songs, images, or any other creativity with us! This space will be held for anyone who has been touched by sexual violence, whether they are survivors, support people, or community members. Telling our stories can be an important part of healing, and often feels incredibly empowering! Words of courage, support, and hope are all welcomed!
