Participatory Action Research
In imagining new futures of justice and healing, survivors serve as co-researchers. We utilize participatory action design research and other methodologies to carry out groundbreaking, survivor-centered research that includes underrepresented populations and asks critical, often overlooked questions. Our peer-reviewed findings contribute to the pool of evidence on which we can base a new landscape of community-based services and policies for healing and justice that is both inclusive and responsive to the needs of all survivors.
Amplification + Education
We design an education and media strategy that both amplifies and informs, leading the conversation away from harmful mythology, while arming the public with a deeper understanding of intimate harm and its impact. Our creative team captures survivor wisdom and uses data visualization to produce dynamic short form educational content around trauma science and how-we-got-here histories. These truth-telling graphic, video campaigns, workshops and trainings explore, explain, and dismantle the science and social paradigms behind trauma and our culture of response.
Community Conversation
We facilitate survivor-centered community conversations that cultivate connection and foster learning. Our transformative Consentric Circle conversations bring together survivors, community and family members, decision makers, first responders, and in some cases, those who committed harm. Scaffolded with learning resources, these vulnerable, deep group learning discussions explore the impacts of trauma, identify patterns between our survival experiences, challenge the myths and misunderstandings we’ve encountered, and reimagine the course of our healing with creative systemic interventions. Addressing where the system does not meet survivor needs allows us to foster survivor imagination and systemic change and increase community accountability as we collaboratively reimagine what healing and justice look like for those who are impacted.
