This year’s conference honors the people who built this movement, and the people continuing to carry it forward. For generations, survivors, advocates, organizers, and community members have created safety, support, and change together. Their lived experience, knowledge, and care have shaped this work from the very beginning. Join us for two days of connection, learning, and envisioning what’s possible when we build safety, healing, and belonging together.

Speaker and workshop announcements coming soon! For more information, please see our FAQ page or contact us at [email protected].

How we show up is the work. Knowledge and interventions matter, but the relationship you build with surviors is the strongest predictor of healing. In this workshop, we'll cover:
  • How to support someone who has experienced domestic violence without taking over, causing more harm, or making them feel more alone.
  • How to help parents protect their children's childhoods — recognizing that a child's behavior is communication of a need, not necessarily a replay of what an abusive parent modeled, and that kids need to be able to just be kids.
  • What Indigenous cultures worldwide can teach us about raising healthy kids and building strong families and exploring more effective ways of relating that build safety, dignity, connection, and resilience. 
  • How to take care of your own nervous system so you can stay present and effective without burning out.
You'll leave with a deeper understanding of how relationship drives healing, a broader lens for supporting families, real tools for helping kids stay kids, and ways to sustain yourself in this work.
