The field of interpersonal violence has largely relied on white-western models of care for survivors dealing with trauma. This workshop is rooted in decolonizing care principles and highlights a method of care humans have utilized for ages across all cultures; music. The workshop allows participants to explore musical exercises and ties the value of storytelling across a continuum of healing, empowerment, and prevention.
Professionals in violence prevention, victim advocacy, counseling, social work, and other adjacent fields who are interested in utilizing music professionally are encouraged to sign up.
