Dear Friend, April marks a month of reflection, awareness, and action, particularly as we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month. At Shared Roots Mediation, we're committed to amplifying voices, fostering healing, and building connected communities, and we're thrilled to embark on this journey with you. |

Sexual Assualt Awareness Month As April unfolds, we're reminded of the significance of this month as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Coordinated by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) and supported by survivor advocacy groups nationwide, SAAM aims to shed light on the prevalence of sexual harm, provide vital resources for survivors, and educate communities on prevention strategies. At Shared Roots Mediation, we recognize the importance of raising awareness about sexual violence and supporting survivors on their journey to justice and healing. Join us in observing Sexual Assault Awareness Month by staying informed, engaging in conversations about consent and healthy relationships, and supporting survivors in their healing process. Together, we can create a safer, more compassionate world for all. For more insight into how Shared Roots Mediation values the role of community in a survivor's journey, we invite you to read our latest blog post by our co-founder, Christine Evans, on connecting survivors and communities. |

Earth Day Though Earth Day fell on April 22nd, at Shared Roots Mediation, we don't just commemorate this one important day; we embody its spirit of environmental stewardship and community interconnectedness every day. We're reminded of the deep connections that bind us together in our community. At Shared Roots, our name speaks to the profound interconnectedness we share with each other and the natural world around us. Just like the roots of a tree intertwine beneath the surface, our lives are woven together in intricate ways, shaping the fabric of our shared existence. Let's reflect on the importance of nurturing and protecting our interconnected web of life. Just as trees communicate warnings, share resources, and support sick trees through a “wood wide web” of mycorrhizal fungi, communities can provide the necessary care and encouragement for survivors who feel isolated and cut off from their roots after experiencing harm. Every action we take, no matter how small, has a ripple effect that extends far beyond ourselves. Whether it's practicing sustainability, fostering empathy and understanding, or advocating for social and environmental justice, we all have a role to play in creating a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come. As we continue to honor Earth Day every day, let's reaffirm our commitment to building a more compassionate and interconnected community, where every individual and every living being is valued and respected. Together, we can cultivate shared roots of resilience, empathy, and harmony, ensuring a thriving planet for all. |
