Serving Survivors with Mental Health Disabilities
Hosted By: Vera Institute of Justice

Date: 5/26/2021

Time: 1:00 AM
 
Description: Each May, we observe Mental Health Awareness Month. It is a time to celebrate the resilience of people with mental health disabilities and honor their voices as they work to end stigma and increase access. This month also provides us with an opportunity to reflect on where we can improve our services to better serve them. Survivors of domestic and sexual violence with mental health disabilities still face significant barriers in seeking and receiving healing services, including more significant or unfamiliar responses to trauma and lingering stigma around their disabilities. Service providers must continue the work in ensuring survivors’ services are safe, welcoming, and accessible and that their experiences are centered. Join Olga Trujillo as they explore the needs of survivors with mental health disabilities and potential solutions for overcoming barriers to services that providers can implement to be more responsive to their needs.

Date: 5/26/2021-5/28/2021

Time: 2:00 AM - 7:30 AM ChST
 
Description: NCCASA’s 2021 Conference, Exploring Emergent Strategies for Long-Term Transformation, will focus on potential applications of emergent spaces, explore the need for intentional connection and sustainability, and identify ways to center humanity and interconnectedness while in a physically distant, often virtual, context. Throughout the pandemic, we have highlighted creative ways of coping with the collective and intersectional traumas we are all experiencing. As we look toward long- term transformation and yet are still dealing with the global crisis, we are still reminded that there is a need to offer spaces for recovery and to collectively share ideas for equilibrium and rebuilding.

Part 2 of Healing Modalities: Trauma-Informed Approaches for Sustaining Our Resilience as We Work
Hosted By: Alliance for HOPE International

Date: 5/26/2021

Time: 3:00 AM
 
Description: Our commitment and passion for the work we do is foundational to our effectiveness with survivors and their families. At the same time, consistent exposure to violence and trauma and the ongoing pandemic can negatively impact the people we support, the ways we do our work, and our organizations as a whole. These two workshops will focus on strategies for expanding support for those of us who do the work with approaches that are accessible, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed in an effort to counter the ongoing impacts of trauma, to support healing, and to sustain both our empathy and resilience.
