Sexual Violence: The Science of Trauma and Healing

Time: 1.5hr

In this webinar, Christina Love (she/her), Survivor, Advocate, and Sexual Violence Expert, will share about the multiple layers of trauma many survivors experience, which can include sexual assault, domestic violence, homelessness, historical trauma, substance use, and more. In her own experience, she has learned that understanding how the trauma she survived led to substance use, was key in her liberation and recovery. In this webinar we will explore moving beyond being trauma informed to centering our own healing and the healing of each person we come into contact with.



As such, she will share how when we as providers better understand the multiple layers of trauma that people experience, it can help us better meet people where they are at, not just in the moment, but also in the larger context of their lives and our communities.

Bio:

Christina Love, a proud Alutiiq/Sugpiaq woman (she/her), brings her authentic voice and transformative spirit to the forefront as an internationally acclaimed speaker, educator, consultant, recovery coach, and civil and human rights activist. Born on the beautiful land of Fairbanks, hailing from the rich ancestral lands of Egegik village and nurtured in the vibrant village of Chitina, Alaska, Christina embodies the strength and resilience of her heritage and each community that has raised her.

With a deep commitment to systems change and advocacy for marginalized/targeted populations, Christina's journey has been shaped by her own experiences as an adult and child survivor of physical and sexual abuse, a formerly incarcerated individual in long-term recovery, and as a person who has experienced homelessness and disabilities. As an educator and storyteller, Christina focuses on the intersectionality of trauma, substance use and mental health with a primary focus on how we heal as individuals and communities. Christina is part of leading a collective movement that works to end violence, oppression, shame, and stigma through the liberation of education, community healing, and storytelling.

Gratefully,

Christina Love

The South Dakota Coalition Ending Domestic and Sexual Violence (SDCEDSV) was incorporated in September of 1978 to eliminate violence against women in the State of South Dakota and tribal nations within the borders of South Dakota. In 1978, there were no shelter or advocacy programs for women who were battered and their children. As a result of the dedication and commitment of SDCEDSV membership, today we have grown to a strong alliance of advocacy and shelter programs located throughout the state and on tribal lands.

​

The South Dakota Coalition Ending Domestic and Sexual Violence (SDCEDSV) is the designated sexual assault coalition for the state of South Dakota, being such we offer our membership training and technical assistance specific to sexual assault through out the year, on a consistent basis.



SDCEDSV includes twenty membership programs from across the state of South Dakota. Of those twenty membership programs, thirteen of those are located within reservation boundaries.
