Angkor Awakens: A Portrait of Cambodia will introduce audiences to Cambodia’s history; specifically, the Cambodian genocide, its effects on the Cambodian community, as well as the efforts taken to revitalize the culture lost in its wake. The goal of this film screening is to not only inform the UCLA community of our culture, but also to spark discussion on coping with trauma, the refugee experience, and what it means to be Southeast Asian. Ultimately, this event will serve as a bridge to bring people, whether or not they are Cambodian, Southeast Asian, or refugees/children of refugees, together to share their backgrounds and experiences.

Fall Cleaning? Donate to the Gender Gap Clothing Drive
2018-11-05 - 2018-11-09
The UCLA Gender Gap Clothing Drive is an initiative to provide gender-affirming clothing to our students, particularly those who may not have the means to purchase clothing reflective of their gender identity/expression. Gender-affirming professional clothing is also a large concern for transgender and gender-nonconforming students as they begin to apply for internships and full-time positions.

I invite you to support our students by donating any clothing items in good condition, particularly professional attire. Following the drive we will be hosting a clothing exchange where trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming students can select clothing that matches their identities. This will happen from November 12th to November 14th.

We are collecting donations from November 5th-November 9th at the LGBT Campus Resource Center. Please consider taking a few moments over the weekend to peruse your closets and help us in supporting students.

Thank you for your continued support of trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming students.

Trauma-Informed Yoga for Survivors 8-Week Series
2018-10-09 11:00 - 2018-11-27 13:00
We will offer an 8-week trauma-informed yoga series for survivors of sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and/or stalking in the fall. Please see below for more information and feel free to share with any students, staff, or faculty who would benefit from participating in this healing modality. Interest forms are due September 28, 2018 (located on our website and attached). Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! As always, thank you so much for your support and referrals.

Trauma-Informed Yoga for Survivors

Mission and Goals
UCLA CARE believes in all forms of healing and this program will explore reconnection to the self through mind, body, and spirit. In Bennett’s book, Emotional Yoga, she reminds us that our emotions often times act as a bridge between our bodies and minds, which are intimately intertwined and connected with our emotions (2002). This program will provide survivors of sexual violence a means of becoming reacquainted with their bodies, help them become grounded in the present moment, and allow them to explore the benefits of mindfulness as they flow breath to movement in guided practice and meditation.
Memories of sexually violent experiences can be intrusive, which can create challenges for survivors. These memories can also make it difficult for survivors who are looking to establish connection in their lives and learn how to trust again. The entire experience of practicing yoga, can help survivors find union between seemingly disconnected and challenging aspects of the self; allowing participants to slowly build the pieces into an integrated whole. In The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Treatment, Rothschild recognizes the need for therapy to consist of helping people to stay in their bodies and to delve deeper into understanding these important bodily sensations (2000).Yoga’s focus on self-acceptance provides survivors with tangible benefits that will become noticeable throughout their practice. This gradual integration can be transformational and healing for a survivor of sexual violence.

Program Structure
Yoga as Healing will be an 8-week program taking place during fall 2018. The class will meet Tuesdays from 11am to 1pm. Each class offers survivors a safe space to gain greater awareness around strength, stability, assertiveness, and mindfulness. Classes will have different themes, focus on various restorative postures, build strength in the core, explore positive affirmations, and will also be coupled with guided activities including de-briefing exercises, journaling, and art. Classes will allow survivors to re-connect with themselves and build community with their peers.
Classes will establish consistency and will build upon each other each week.
