Advocate Book Club

Advocates, program directors, board friends, and beloved comrades are invited to the Idaho Coalition's upcoming book club on Thursday, August 15th:

In this space, we will delve into the transformative themes of intergenerational trauma and healing as explored in Dr. Mariel Luque's book, "Break The Cycle." Join us as we explore connections with our understanding of intergenerational trauma and envisioning our higher selves, self-healing, and learning to enhance our approaches to addressing violence.

ZERO pressure to read the book - the discussion will touch on the book but will also explore broad concepts for our collective work. And if you’d like to explore the book Cliffnotes-style, please use this Youtube Interview w/ Dr. Mariel.

Support Survivors as a Nurse Examiner

Nurse examiners carry an especially vital role for survivors of sexual assault. Right now, there is an initiative to expand the sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) in Idaho, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

$1,500 stipends available for the recruited nurses' learning, which more than covers any expenses they will encounter in their journey to becoming SANEs.

When A Family Member is Abusing Their Partner

What if your family member is being abusive?

"You might love your family member, but you know that what they’re doing is harmful. You may not want to admit that it’s happening, or you may just feel like cutting them out of your life. These are all normal reactions. Relationships with family members can be complicated, and if someone is behaving abusively, that makes things even more complicated."
