Description:
Rural advocates’ meetings are intended to foster community, remote support, peer sharing, learning, and creativity among Florida’s rural sexual assault advocates. While intended to be less formal than traditional training sessions, the learning environment fostered at these meetings provides advocates with new activities, tools, and ideas to implement in their own communities. Advocates serving rural communities part-time are also welcome!
This meeting is co-facilitated by the current Rural Project Team and will feature 4 experiential, hands-on learning opportunities. It is preferred that SA advocates who register stay for the entire meeting as the activities build upon each other.
Facilitators:
Eglindina Diaz Quintana (ACT), Eva Fiallos-Diaz (FCASV), Diana Hernandez (SPARCC), Jessica Johnston (SPARCC), and Grisela Santizo Soto (ACT).
Notes:
Advocates are encouraged to dress comfortably. We will be using art supplies and moving throughout the room. Festive winter wear is encouraged.
We will only be able to accommodate a maximum of 25 participants for this meeting due to the space we are graciously being provided by Gulf Coast Community Foundation. We kindly ask that you plan to attend all day, if possible. If you register and must later cancel, please do so by 11/21/22. A reminder email will be included for your convenience.
We plan to provide some breakfast goodies and coffee. Participants are responsible for their own lunches.
Tentative agenda and summary (pending OVW approval) are attached for review.
Free CEUs will be provided for Florida mental health professionals.
