We’ve got several great programs for you this week, which is the last week of Domestic Violence Awareness Month:

Tuesday 10/26, 6:30-8:30pm in the Cornerstone Screening Room: Discussion about Domestic Violence and Intimate Partner Violence in Pop Culture hosted by the Student Title IX Assistance and Resource Team (START).
Wednesday 10/27, 12-1:30pm in Worner: #1Thing with the WRC Well Mobile. We can all do #1Thing towards eradicating domestic violence, and our SARC Anna Thompson will be collecting commitments from members of the CC community about what they can (and will) do to help support survivors and end Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence.
Thursday, 10/28 from 7-9pm in the WRC: Costume-Making Workshop. As part of this week’s Halloweek events, the Wellness Resource Center will be hosting a night of Halloween costume designing and crafting on. Materials will be provided for FREE (while supplies last)!
Friday, 10/29, 11-2 in Tutt Library: Create Your Own Stress ManageKit. Look for the WRC Well Mobile, which will have information and supplies for stress management.

Here are a few highlights of programs coming during the remainder of the block:

Tuesday 11/2, 3:30 in the WRC: Healing and Moving Forward Through Journaling: All of us experience hurtful and painful events. Journaling can help us heal and move forward. In this workshop, we’ll introduce an expressive writing strategy that many find helpful in their healing journey.

Thursday, 11/4, 7pm: Campus Forum in Response to Rumors of Sexual Assault on Campus. We hope this forum will be an opportunity for brave conversation where we remind each other of CC's values - that respect and consent are priorities every day in every interaction. We hope to challenge ideas around what it means to hold oneself and peers accountable to the harm we may cause while supporting survivors directly impacted by interpersonal violence. The forum will be a place to connect as a community and empower one another to move forward understanding how one can use their unique strengths to contribute to safety of everyone on campus. Please be aware that we will not be discussing any individual cases in this forum but will seek to address broad issues impacting the entire campus community.
Tuesday, 11/9, 4pm: Mindful Stress Management Experiencing stress is a part of life that can be overwhelming and challenging, but we can build our capacity to respond to stressful situations. Join us to explore how mindfulness practices may help your stress management.

We hope to see you at these events. You can also stop by to see us in the Wellness Resource Center located in 230 Yalich Student Services Center!

We recognize that social media can serve many purposes in people’s lives, and that it can sometimes contribute to feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and inadequate.  We therefore encourage people to limit the amount of time that they engage with social media, and to be selective regarding the sources with whom they engage.  The WRC is committed to using our social media accounts to share ideas for self-care, staying connected as a community, as well as resources and practices to support resiliency, health, healing, thriving, and wellbeing.

Hope to see you soon!
