Resources for Community Advocates

Jenna WhiteMember

Hi, I'm looking for resources and suggestions specifically around healing for advocates who are on the front lines of School Board meetings and the current culture wars around issues in schools. Our community has spun out of control with people acting in ways that are extremely triggering to those who advocate for equity, safety and health. We had several volunteer community advocates who literally were having panic attacks during a School Board meeting because of actions taken by those who want to make the news with sensational stunts.

I know there is "self care" but I'm looking for resources specifically for community advocates (ie not professionals, volunteers who give their time to fight back) on how we can create safe and healing spaces for our community advocates.
