For the third year, MRU and SAMRU will be participating in the #SurvivorLoveLetter Campaign. This initiative was started by Tani Ikeda, a survivor and activist who on the anniversary of her sexual assault, penned a letter to her past self with words of support and love, signing it ‘This is my survivor love letter,’ and put it on social media. This letter resonated with survivors and allies and inspired many survivors to write their own Survivor Love Letter.

Join us for a workshop where we will talk about some tips and tricks on how to write/draw/create a Love Letter to Survivors. This is a peer facilitated workshop with professional supports available.
