We’re excited to share that our founding co-director, Ignacio Rivera, will be facilitating Transformative Approaches to Addressing Harm on August 7th from 4:00–6:15 PM PT, in collaboration with EDSE / EDST.

This experiential workshop introduces Ignacio’s Transformative Clinical Discernment framework, inviting participants to slow down and assess power, context, agency, and client needs before choosing an intervention. Through reflection, discussion, and clinical case studies, participants will explore restorative, transformative, disability, and abolitionist justice frameworks that prioritize dignity, accountability, safety, and healing.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your practice, strengthen your response to relational rupture, or expand your understanding of justice-oriented approaches to harm, this workshop offers practical tools for responding with greater intention and care.

We are thrilled to be presenting at Collective Power 2026 — an activist conference
— April 11-12 in Amherst, MA.

We will be joining over 650+ movement builders, educators, activists, artists, and
students.

Over more than four decades, the Collective Power conference has gathered 13,000+ people working across the social justice movement space to build skills, expand networks, and strengthen our respective movements through a reproductive justice lens.

Collective Power 2026 is organizing at the crossroads, bringing together practitioners and people with lived experience who are uplifting libratory frameworks rooted in disability justice, healing justice, LGBTQIA+ justice, immigrant justice, prison abolition, and more.

April is Sexual Healing Month at Heal Sweet Home.

While many name this month for awareness of assault, we choose to name it for healing.

We make this shift intentionally.

Awareness matters, but awareness alone can leave us circling harm.

Sexual healing invites us to move beyond naming violence toward restoring connection, pleasure, agency, and belonging.

When we center healing:

• Survivors are more than what happened to them
• Communities build skills for repair and care
• Conversations expand beyond fear into possibility
• Prevention grows from connection, not control

Sexual healing reminds us:

we are not only working to end harm —
we are working to reclaim sexuality as a source of joy, curiosity, and liberation.

Many are asking what’s in the files.

We’re asking something different:
What are we expecting those files to give us?

Clarity? Justice? Closure?

Or relief from something that still hasn’t been addressed?

This piece explores why exposure alone doesn’t lead to healing—and what it might actually take to create change.
