VAWnet Event Calendar

Trans/nonbinary communities are disproportionately impacted by COVID and Long COVID. Many of us are navigating the effects of multiple forms of trauma, disability, and isolation, while trying to care for ourselves and others. In this event, FORGE staff will engage in conversation on the connections between COVID and trauma, strategize ways to build community care and navigate trauma, and share stories of moving through the world as COVID cautious trans/nonbinary people.

This session will begin with a short recap of key concepts from Part 1, including stalking behaviors, tactics, and the intersection with domestic and sexual violence. We will then dive into real-world scenarios, providing an opportunity to discuss specific challenges and strategies for supporting survivors with disabilities. Participants will have the chance to ask questions, share insights, and collaborate on solutions for addressing the unique needs of those affected by stalking.

Have you ever had to carry out an action that felt fundamentally wrong in your work? Have you had to make a hard decision that went against your core values or beliefs? Have you witnessed deep harm happen that made you feel guilt or shame, and yet you were powerless to respond? You have likely experienced a moral injury at work. In this webinar, we will take a deep dive into the key concepts of moral distress and moral injury, with a focus on what it is and how it can show up in mission-driven environments.
