HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — Resilience: Advocates for Ending Violence, is set to host an online-only survivor workshop, with tips for managing stress, trauma, and triggers during the pandemic, from 9:30 .a.m. to noon, Oct. 30, 2020.
The workshop will include suggestions for dealing the stresses of the altered school schedule and current social climates. The Resilience Trauma Therapy Team is set to lead the program, aimed any survivor of domestic violence or sexual assault who could use support while managing trauma symptoms.
Register by calling (616) 494-1726 or e-mail beckys@resiliencemi.org.
In May, Resilience first launched a Safe Nights campaign, noting the community’s generosity — $74,000 of the $179,000 raised between March 13 and July 31, 2020, came from individual donors — helping survivors fleeing abuse obtain safe, secure housing, at a time when the Resilience shelter was at capacity.
Without financial support, many survivors are forced to return to a dangerous home. Safe Nights campaign donations help cover rental security deposits, first and last month’s rent, couches and beds, initial utilities and setting up safety measures (such as video security systems), as well as other supports.
