Everyone has their own strengths, both as advocates and as individuals, but how often do we have the conversation about how to use them effectively to make a difference? Working in advocacy involves performing a lot of different roles, and we’re naturally better at some of those than others. This year’s conference will focus in on how to use our skills in the best ways possible, whether you’re a new or seasoned advocate, and wherever your experiences lie. Join us for three days of engaging with your strengths and building your skills, so that we can all find our collective courage together.
Open March 2nd – March 30th
Selected proposals should highlight innovative practices, evidence-based, and culturally supported approaches for working with specific communities, successful collaborations, survivor-centered, and trauma-informed advocacy. Our goal is an innovative, interactive, and memorable conference!
