SUMMARY:The Women's Community SAAM Event: Book Discussion: The Tell: A Memoir\, by Amy Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss New York Times Best Seller\, The Tell. An intimate\, sharply observed story about learning to understand the quiet signals—both internal and external—that shape a life. Griffin reflects on family\, identity\, and the long work of reclaiming her own narrative\, offering a memoir that is honest\, layered\, and deeply human. It is a compelling read for anyone drawn to personal stories about resilience\, self-discovery\, and the power of finally telling the truth. This memoir invites readers to think about memory\, resilience\, and the courage it takes to speak truths that were once too heavy to hold.

SUMMARY:WCASA SAAM Webinar Series: Holding Space: A Conversation on Suicide Prevention
DESCRIPTION:On April 14th from 10:00-11:00am\, Carly Kotwitz from Vivent Health will be presenting the basics on harm reduction and substance use. We know that because of the trauma of sexual violence\, survivors may use substances as a coping mechanism. We hope advocates and prevention folx will gain information helpful for when they are engaging with survivors. \n  \nOn April 28th from 1:00-2:30pm\, Erica Steib from Prevent Suicide Wisconsin will be sharing information on suicide prevention. Normalizing the topic of mental health\, which includes conversations of suicidal ideation\, is incredibly important to removing the societal stigma and shame that accompany metal illness. \n  \nThere is only one registration link for both webinars\, just select the webinar(s) you would like to attend: tinyurl.com/WCASASAAM26

SUMMARY:The Women's Community SAAM Event: Denim Day & Dollars for Denim
DESCRIPTION:A symbolic gesture–Denim Day is an international protest responding to the Italian Supreme Court’s overruling of a rape conviction in 1999. Although the assailant had been found guilty at trial\, the Supreme Court argued that because jeans are difficult to remove\, the assailant could not have done so without the victim’s help. Sounds outrageous\, yet all over the world\, women and men who are victims of sexual assault continue to be disbelieved and accused of causing the assault due to their behavior… or fashion sense. Everyone is invited to wear denim clothes and help raise funds and awareness as an individual or in their workplace. Donations in any amount can be made on our website. https://womenscommunity.org/event/denimday/ Post a photo of yourself or your workplace group to your social media page and tag us on Instagram or Facebook. Denim Day Displays made by local survivors will be held at UWSP at Wausau Campus and NTC Campus from 11:00am-1:00pm.
