Any and all survivors are invited to join us for this free, virtual event. Join a group of survivors led by the Survivors.org staff on the last Wednesday of every month as we follow different art prompts to explore our emotions around our trauma and experiences as survivors. Survivors are encouraged to participate in the group however they feel most comfortable, and sharing your art is not required. Registering once gains you access to all upcoming Survivors.org Art Workshops and our Survivor Support Newsletter, so you will only need to register one time.

Be sure to read our Trauma-Informed Art Workshop Guidelines before you participate in groups. Survivors.org reserves the right to remove anyone who is unable to adhere to our guidelines from participating in any of our support spaces in order to maintain as safe of a space as possible.

Upcoming Trauma-Informed Art Workshops

Requirements and Guidelines

By registering for the Trauma-Informed Art Workshop, you agree to abide by the following requirements and guidelines, and understand that violation of the requirements and guidelines may result in a permanent removal from our support spaces.

Requirements

• This group is for adults only 18+.
• All adults are welcome, regardless of identity (race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, religion, etc).
• This group is NOT therapy.
• This group is for survivors of all types of sexual violence (stay tuned for info on groups for loved ones, teachers, parents, etc.).
• There is no vetting process to join the group, but you must register via Zoom
  • registration details via Zoom will only be available to Survivors.org, and attendees may use pseudonyms during the group.
• The only materials you will need to participate are something to draw with, such as a pen, colored pencils, or paint, and something to draw on, like a piece of paper or a tablet.
• Sharing stories of sexual assault is not required, and, in fact, Survivors.org encourages attendees to discuss coping and emotions as opposed to detailed stories of assault.
• Survivors.org staff is subject to mandatory reporting, so personally identifiable disclosures of the abuse of children, the elderly, and/or vulnerable adults will be reported to the appropriate state agency.
• All individuals must register. If two people are sharing the same computer, they need to both register.

Guidelines

Joining this group means you agree to these guidelines. Anyone who does not abide by these guidelines will be given a warning, and if the behavior continues, they will be removed from the group at the facilitator’s discretion. If a person commits any acts of violence or harassment against other members, they will be immediately removed and not welcome back into the group. Survivors.org cannot guarantee a safe space in all circumstances, but it strives to create a space that is as safe as possible for all survivors.

• Cameras are not required to be on during meetings, but they are encouraged.
• Participants do not need to share their art, but are more than welcome to do so.
• Please refrain from speaking when others are speaking.
• Please respect everyone’s experience and healing.
• No judgment.
• For additional guidelines, please view PAVE’s Community Guidelines
• We will not share attendee information with anyone outside of the organization.
• We will adjust these guidelines and requirements as needed.
• If you have any questions or concerns about these guidelines, please contact Ashley Badgley, ashley@pavingtheway.net

What does it mean to be trauma-informed?

We are trauma-informed when we:
