Community Conversation - Unveiling the Blind Spots: Understanding Why Gender-Based Violence is Often Overlooked in Social Work Discourse
April 8, 2024 - 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET
In this conversation, we hope to further the discussion on Gender-Based Violence and our roles as social workers. Gender-based violence is pervasive and has a significant impact on people and communities, however, there is a general lack of discourse on this public health issue within our field. This conversation aims to identify blind spots of intervention within our field and further explore ways to integrate effective responses into our practice.
This is a time for conversation – to share feelings and experiences and talk together as a community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear! If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.
About the formatWith these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.

Community Conversation - Embracing Matrescence: Navigating the Journey and Sharing Diverse Experiences
April 12, 2024 - 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
Join us for a community conversation on matrescence, the life phase transition experienced by birthing people when they become parents. This transformative process encompasses the physical, emotional, and psychological changes with parenthood after birth. Like a second adolescence, the birthing person's body can feel foreign, hormones have an outsized effect, and they are at greater risk of mood disorders like depression, anxiety. Let's explore together the challenges of matrescence, raising awareness, and discover how we can support others and ourselves through this profound transition.
This is a time for conversation – to share feelings and experiences and talk together as a community.
