Survivorship Webinars
WEBINAR NEWS: Survivorship is pleased to announce a new webinar series for professionals which began in October, 2011. We intend to provide webinars on a regular basis and have now been approved for CEU's through the California Board of Behavioral Sciences which covers Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT); Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW); Licensed Educational Psychologists (LEP); Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors (LPCC); MFT Interns (IMF); Associate Clinical Social Workers (ASW); and Professional Clinical Counselor Interns (PCCI) in the State of California). Our speakers are trained professionals in the field with many years of experience both in the practical aspect of working with survivors of Ritual Abuse and Mind Control as well as having been speakers at professional conferences in the past.
WEBINAR INTRO: Survivorship has been successful in offering Webinars on various aspects of ritual abuse and healing. Webinars are like a presentation at a conference, only the conference comes to you via a computer link. You can choose to use a telephone for the audio portion of the webinar, which might cost, or computer headphones.
This new technology has been effective in providing information and building bridges between people who cannot meet in person. We have many participants from all walks of life and from all over the world.
PRIVACY CONCERNS
The information you send Survivorship in order to register is kept strictly confidential. No record is kept of your phone number. You choose what name to go by for the Webinar: it does not have to be your real name or message board screen name.
The presentation will be recorded and posted on our website so that you can hear it again.
SELF CARE
We have received feedback that hearing other survivors' voices is a very emotional experience. Think about ways to take care of yourself afterwards in case you have this reaction or in case the material presented stirs up issues. It's ok to take a break during the webinar and/or to leave early.

If you have DSL:
Windows XP SP2, 2003, Vista, LINUX, or Mac OSX or higher
Firefox 2 or 3, Internet Explorer 6 or 7, or Safari

A cell or conventional phone to hear the audio portion.

UPCOMING WEBINARS for SURVIVORS and PROFESSIONALS
Saturday, February 18
12 pm Pacific Time
Presenter: Alison
"Resourcefulness as a survival tool. Drawing on both internal and
external resources"
Alison grew up within an inter-generational cult in Eastern Ontario, Canada rooted in the Knights of Columbus and the 18th century Catholic Church. To pay for disappointing her family of not carrying on the tradition of the firstborn son, Alison bore three children by members of her family and was forced to sacrifice them. She did her University studies from 1993-2004 during which time she struggled with unmanaged dissociation, anorexia and bulimia.
Her healing began in a treatment program in the USA, and continues at home in Canada. Alison has two published articles and now speaks out about SRA. She has been recently diagnosed with a terminal illness and still continues her endeavors to bring light to the issue of SRA. She has worked as an HIV counselor and a rep on the LGBTQ Caucus of the Ontario NDP. Alison is a part time music theory teacher and Artist Manager.
Having the ability to be resourceful has kept Alison alive for the past 36 years. She believes that all human beings have basic human rights as outlined in the Canadian Human Rights Code, and she has drawn on resources, both internal as well as external. She will be talking about how this resourcefulness has saved her life and will offer suggestions on how other survivors can find and draw on their own many resources.
