Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Juliette Grimmett <>]

Hello colleagues -

I wanted to let you know about a wonderful program opportunity. Caroline Lovell, the Founder of Traveling Postcards, brought her program to Chrysalis Network's Solving the Campus Sexual Assault & Dating Violence Puzzle conference last year. It was highly praised by participants. I hope you will consider looking into her excellent work! Please see the information below and attached flyer.

Traveling Postcards is a healing arts workshop that gives voice and comfort to survivors of gender violence. Many violence prevention organizations, including colleges and universities use Traveling Postcards as an additional tool for healing after trauma and to promote recovery. Traveling Postcards is also an excellent tool for advocacy and to promote gender equality on campus.

The Women’s Wisdom Initiative provides our trauma informed Traveling Postcards workshop to college campuses and can hold multiple workshops over the course of 1-2 days with members of the student body, staff and supporting networks. We also offer optional Facilitator Training to college counselors to continue the program at will.

It is a well-known statistic that 1 in 5 college women are survivors of sexual assault. National campus efforts are diligently working towards violence prevention, but it should be noted that many students come to campuses already having experienced a form of violence. Survivors are at higher risk for experiencing depression, PTSD, and substance abuse. The healing process is crucial to personal well-being and academic success.

Please take a look at our website, videos and testimonials. We are currently putting together an east coast tour in October and would love a chance to talk more about our programs and how best to work with your campus.
