Art with Impact
Our Bodies, Our Minds Facilitator

I recently joined Art with Impact as a facilitator for Our Bodies, Our Minds - an embodied, active two-hour workshop on college and university campuses, exploring the mental health impacts that sexual violence can have on survivors and communities. Our Bodies, Our Minds is building more supportive communities by:

• Being for everyone. AWI views sexual violence as a community issue – everyone knows at least one survivor of sexual violence.
• Using theatre and embodied techniques that welcome all people to step into different roles, and build empathy for others.
• Exploring potential mental health impacts of sexual violence (including anxiety, PTSD, depression, eating disorders, self hatred, fear, insomnia, and others) and reducing stigma around symptoms of mental health issues.
• Learning how to support survivors – as friends, family, partners, and peers.
