September Support Space: Custom Journal Building

Join us on Wednesday September 25^th from 6-7:30PM for September Survivor Support Space. This will be a space for anyone who identifies as a survivor to come to the Wolff house and craft a custom journal to take home with them. If weather allows, crafting will happen inside and out with a focus on incorporating the five senses in the journals with essential oil beads, calm strips, and stickers included. Folks are invited to come for just a part or stay for the whole thing and a confidential advocate will be present if folks wish to speak with them.

Pre-TBTN Speech Workshop: 
Navigating the decision to share your story at TBTN, Speech building strategies and practice, Prioritizing your well-being pre/post TBTN
Tues. 10/1 | 5:30-7pm | MUB 338/340

The SHARPP Center presents our first ever Pre-TBTN speech workshop! This event is focused on helping those who might be interested in speaking navigate the decision to share (or not to share) their story at TBTN. This workshop will also be used for speech building strategies and practice, and review ways to prioritize well-being before and after TBTN. As a 90-min one time program, this will NOT be a drop-in style event. Instead, we recommend those interested arrive at 5:30pm and leave when they need to! This event is open to undergraduate & graduate students.

Pre-TBTN Craft Night!
Tues. 10/8 | 6:30-8pm | MUB 334

Grab a group of friends and come on by! From poster-making, Clothesline Project T-shirt creations, awareness bracelets, to awareness ribbon painting- we have it all. Crafts made at this event can either be taken home or left with SHARPP Center staff to be incorporated into a powerful visual display at our annual Take Back The Night event. This is a drop-in style craft night, where you can stop by for as much (or as little) time as you're able to!
Dinner and refreshments will be provided. 
This event is open to all UNH community members (undergraduate & graduate students, faculty & staff).

Take Back The Night (TBTN)
Thurs. 10/17 | 8pm | Thompson Hall Lawn
Rain Date: Thurs. 10/24

Join us this October for our largest and most powerful event of the year. Take Back The Night (TBTN) began here at UNH in 1981 but has been a staple at universities/colleges since the early 1970s! TBTN at UNH is easily one of the most impactful student-led events offered to the UNH community each year. It serves as both a community call to action and a space for those impacted by violence/abuse to share advice, stories, poetry, and more. TBTN is about shattering the silence around interpersonal violence (IPV: stalking, relationship abuse, sexual violence, & harassment) and enhancing awareness around what IPV looks like within collegiate spaces. It's a place where we can come together to provide support for those impacted by violence, be in community with other survivors/victims, and create change on our campus.
This event is open to all UNH community members (undergraduate & graduate students, faculty & staff).
This event is free from mandatory reporting, which means what is shared at TBTN will not result in a UNH Title IX report being filed.

November

How We Heal: Survivor Zine Night
Thurs. 11/14 | 6pm | MUB 207

Anyone impacted by interpersonal violence is welcome and a confidential advocate will be available should you wish to speak with one. This event is open to all UNH community members (undergraduate & graduate students, faculty & staff).
