If you have reached this form, you have received the communication sent out to survivors on behalf of Guila Benchimol and Alissa Ackerman. In January 2024 we will be hosting a question and answer session regarding the overall project, including the benefits and limits of restorative justice. Then, in February 2024 we will invite primary survivors, those who directly experienced sexual harm within the Church or by Church leaders or staff, to private listening sessions with us. This will give survivors the opportunity to share their restorative, justice, and healing needs that they would like the Church to meet. In the spring of 2024, we will open opportunities for secondary survivors to meet with us.

We ask that you answer this short confidential form to help us best organize and schedule these sessions. Your responses will only be seen by Alissa Ackerman and Guila Benchimol.

We will be in touch in mid-January 2024 to begin scheduling individual listening sessions using the information you provide here.
