Workshops

Our focus is on building capacity, power, and knowledge for community-based responses to domestic violence and sexual harm. We create resources tailored to the needs of community groups and organizations, and we accompany them as they develop programs that support responses within their specific contexts.

We are excited to work with…

  • Local organizations and community groups (Richmond and Contra Costa County) 
  • Movement-aligned people and organizations engaging in restorative approaches to gender based violence, domestic violence, sexual violence, and interpersonal violence.
  • Cultural or community workers strengthening or empowering community resilience, connection, and creating spaces of community healing.
  • Movement-adjacent partners with less access to financial resources and professional support 
  • Organizations interested in creating and expanding restorative options for people experiencing violence.
