Thank you, Emily, for creating this space to remember and honor Janée. Her powerful voice was such a strong force, and I believe forever helped our community improve the services we offer to survivors. Also, thank you to Saint Martha's for honoring Janée on social media. They have offered that any agency or person can repost or make their own messages to offer a tribute to Janée. Much love to you all ❤️

Good afternoon! SLEDSVN will be meeting on Zoom tomorrow, Tuesday, June 21 from 9am-10:30am. The meeting link is below. Hope Hopwood will be sharing resources and information on confidentiality practices in DV organizations, which we hope can turn into a larger discussion about our agencies practice and questions you but have never asked. We hope to see you then!

We hope you can join the next SLEDSVN meeting on Tuesday, May 17, at 9am on Zoom. Login information is below. We are hosting two speakers this month: Mirada Gibson with the Tap In Center and Terrie Woods with MERS Goodwill ACCESS Program. If you don't know about either of these programs, you don't want to miss this meeting! After the presentations, we plan to do network and community updates and then end the meeting by 10am. Immediately following the SLEDSVN meeting, anyone interested is welcome to stay on the Zoom for a separate discussion. The leaked Supreme Court decision and the future of Roe v Wade is already impacting survivors. We want to create space to discuss this further, but also want to respect anyone who would prefer not to or is unable to join for personal or professional reasons. For anyone choosing to stay on, we recognize this is a difficult and emotionally charged conversation and this meeting will be just an initial discussion. We appreciate each of you, and the positive impacts you have on survivors every day.
