On Wednesday, March 19, join us to learn more about Survivors’ Rights Watch! SRW is a Volare program similar to Court Watch, where volunteers can observe trends in DC courtrooms, and how they can relate to Crime Victims’ Rights issues. You DO NOT need to be an attorney or a law student to be able to participate. This program is open to all! To register, visit bit.ly/SRWInfoSession #CrimeVictimsRights #SurvivorRights #CourtWatch #SupportAllSurvivors

March is Self-Harm Awareness Month. Self harm is a survival strategy that survivors may engage in to cope with and heal from trauma. This is a reminder to us all that there is no right or wrong way to react to or cope after trauma and harm. And it’s also a reminder that survivors know themselves best. #SelfHarmAwarenessMonth #SupportAllSurvivors

Today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day is a global holiday, aimed at uplifting that the journey to equitable rights is an ongoing one. From DC, to cities and states around the US, to countries around the world, the work is not over to achieve liberation and justice for all! Let’s honor this day by remembering the ongoing fight and making our commitment to join! #InternationalWomensDay #IWD

Save the Date! On Thursday, April 10, Volare is “Off to the Races!” Join us as we celebrate our new name, and bring in springtime at the Williams & Connolly Rooftop from 6PM-10PM. More details to follow!

“When I think of home, I think of a place where there’s love overflowing” - The Wiz When we think of trauma-informed communities, we think of folks believing and uplifting survivors. We think of folks engaging in trauma-informed practices on the daily, even if they don’t provide direct services to survivors. And we think of folks creating spaces where “love overflows” and everyone feels supported and heard! #Oscars #TheWiz #WizardOfOz #Wicked #CommunityCare #TraumaInformedCommunity #SupportAllSurvivors
