Reclaiming Our Leadership-Survivors as Knowledge Holders

A reconnection to Self Leadership, sovereignty, and autonomy.

This opening session reframes survivors not as service recipients, but as strategists, culture shapers, and movement architects.

Positioning survivors' lived experience as expertise
The difference between survivor-centered and survivor-led
How institutions unintentionally strip leadership from those closest to the harm
Where generational wisdom has already been guiding the work

Matriarchal Leadership: 3-part training series designed to move participants beyond theory and into practice and to help BIPOC advocates, survivors, HR leaders, sexual assault educators, and frontline teams leverage and position their inherent knowledge and wisdom as core components of their own leadership.

This virtual training is provided for members and IDHS-funded DV/SA organizations only, and will issue 2 CEUs at no cost. For Social Work CEUs, please indicate this clearly in your registration and later in your evaluation. Please confirm here if your organization is a member of The Network.

A Zoom link will be provided the day before training begins.
