May Healing Retreat for Advocates and Survivors of Gun Violence
Gun violence ripples throughout communities and causes life-long trauma — and untreated trauma can fuel even more violence in our neighborhoods. That’s why Brady, the Chicago Mayor’s Office of Community Safety, and Public Equity are uniting for a healing-centered retreat to discuss the connection between trauma, community violence, and the firearm industry’s role in the gun violence crisis. Designed for survivors of gun violence, victim service providers, and advocates, attendees will gain knowledge to build safer communities and obtain tools they can use in their healing journeys.
We will have a survivor’s panel, free lunch, and different healing modalities for people to participate in during breakout sessions (ex: chair yoga, art therapy, meditation, wellness kit building, reiki, etc.).
