CARE will be offering a number of alternative healing programs this Fall for survivors of sexual violence. Please see below for more details. These programs are open to survivors of all gender identities as well as to students, staff, and faculty.

Healing Expressed with Art (HEART):

This series uses painting, drawing, and collaging as methods for survivors to process and prevent the symptoms of stress and trauma. Through five sessions, survivors will create art to explore their emotions, mind, and identity. No prior experience of art is needed.

Trauma-Informed Yoga for Survivors of Sexual Assault:
Yoga as Healing offers survivors a safe space to gain greater awareness around strength, stability, assertiveness, and mindfulness. Classes will have different themes, focus on various restorative postures, support the nervous system, explore positive affirmations, and will also be coupled with guided activities including de-briefing exercises, journaling, and art. Classes will support survivors in re-connecting with themselves and building community with their peers.

A Write to Heal Journaling Program:
This journaling drop-in series offers a safe space to express emotions, feelings, and thoughts. Led by one of CARE's victim advocates, participants will be invited to explore various writing themes and prompts related to healing and empowerment. Workshops are offered in a drop-in format. Participants will be provided with a journal, but are welcome to bring their own.

TranscenDANCE:

These trauma-informed dance workshops will create an empowering and safe space for survivors to heal and express feelings through movement. Bija Bennett reminds us that our emotions often times act as a bridge between our bodies and minds, which are intimately intertwined and connected with our emotions (2002). This program will provide survivors of sexual violence a means of becoming reacquainted with their bodies and find safety within. Participants will be invited to participate in any way that feels comfortable to explore a series of movements focused on safety, empowerment, assertiveness, and strength.

Students can sign up via the link on our website for all four programs:
