Pod-mapping is a dynamic, visual strategy for increasing circles of connection, heightening individual and community safety, and incorporating multiple avenues for support and solutions. This tool can be used both by survivors and advocates to build relationships and connection. Grounded in FORGE’s community-specific knowledge and commitment to expansive, affirming practices, this session will explore advocacy with survivors that focuses on mutual aid, non-systems-based approaches and resources, and using pod-mapping as one way to support survivors.
