In this workshop, we will explore the adverse childhood experiences research through the lens of oppression and hierarchy, and understand the impact of these traumatic events on our physical and mental health as adults.
We will focus on finding loving solutions together towards health and flourishing, through family abolition and mutual aid.
TW: We will be identifying some features of childhood abuse. The workshop will be a trauma informed space recognising that we all carry childhood trauma with us and ensuring that everyone is cared for, respected, and listened to.
