Why Puzzles?
Yes, there are a ton of conferences out there - what makes this one so special you ask??? Here are our top 5 reasons:
Presenters: While we bring in the headliners, we also shine spotlights on local unfamiliar rock stars. We strive to provide opportunities for those who are often overlooked.
Cost: Offers an affordable national conference experience with a small group feel. Other national sexual violence conferences charge upwards of triple our registration fee ($400-$775 versus $160-$275, with most being $500+).
Topic: Puzzles focuses entirely on campus sexual and dating violence and all presenters are required to incorporate aspects of intersectionality in their sessions.
Cash: As an incentive to network with other participants and to visit our sponsor exhibitor booths, we will award multiple cash winners per day. The top participants on the conference app will get cash Venmo’d straight to them! Or an e-gift card –whichever you prefer.
Community: Puzzles is centered on the importance of building relationships and community. Our plentiful and hard-working team strive to create a personalized, connected, supportive, and welcoming conference experience tailored to you. Even though we are virtual, we believe you will continue to feel our personal connection!
Lastly, over 50% of all workshops are for intermediate or advanced professionals.
So what are you waiting for? Register now!!

Chrysalis Network is grateful to offer you the opportunity to apply for any of our 3 scholarship options.

Harassment Free NC Scholarship
5 available
A registration scholarship open to anyone interested in attending Puzzles.
Harassment Free NC is a Raleigh, NC-based organization committed to creating environments where sexual harassment is not tolerated.
Richard Webley Student Scholarship
5 available
A registration scholarship for students and those new to the field. This scholarship is named in honor of Juliette’s beloved brother-in-law, Richie, who recently passed away. He was kind, funny, thoughtful, and the most generous person you had ever met. He was a huge supporter of Juliette’s work; always ready to brainstorm creative ways for her to get her message out. At his core, Richie loved to learn, and was a mentor to many. Juliette is proud to fund this scholarship in his honor, to students and those new to the field.
The Chrysalis Network Whole Circle Scholarship
5 available
A registration scholarship designed to support students, advocates, and prevention professionals who self-identify as belonging to neurodiverse or disability communities.
In the spirit of “Nothing about us without us,” this scholarship was initiated by an Autistic advocate and survivor and seeks to increase visibility and support for individuals from these marginalized communities who work to end violence in all of its forms. If you would like to donate to provide additional registration opportunities for this scholarship, please do so via Eventbrite. Chrysalis Network will match all donations.
All applications will be reviewed by a panel of professionals in the field who identify as autistic and/or part of the disability community.

Continuing education & OVW Campus Grantee approval
We invite OVW grantees and those seeking CEs to register for the conference now so that you can take advantage of the regular registration rate (ends 11/26). Realistically, we may not be notified of the approvals until late November and do not want you to miss out on these rates. If we do not receive OVW approval or NBCC CEs (which has never happened), and no longer want to attend, you will receive a full refund.
We have applied for 14 NBCC Clock hours to be approved for LPCs. Social Workers can get CE approval from their state board. Check the website for final approval.
