Grounded in COFEM’s Emotional First Aid (EFA) tipsheet and feminist approaches to self and collective care, this course creates an interactive, cross-regional learning space focused on practical approaches to providing emotional support, feminist principles of care, dignity and agency, and self-awareness, boundaries and collective care.
