2026 Sophworks Recovery Group Summer Workshop

Each summer, Sophworks Recovery Group hosts a summer workshop that provides training, knowledge, and resources to those that it serves. The workshop invites public- and private-sector professionals to serve their communities at the grassroots level while simultaneously providing aspiring community and movement leaders with direct access to the knowledge and experience that will help them most. This dialogue promotes a synergistic drive that motivates and inspires both parties. 

About This Year's Summer Workshop: 

• The 2026 Sophworks Recovery Group Summer Workshop focuses on the challenges that survivors of human trafficking face while engaging in The Movement. The workshop will be a specialized, survivor-led program designed to help survivors navigate the complexities of advocacy and community impact.
•  This free workshop focuses on the lifecycle of a "Movement Worker", offering guidance on entering the field, recognizing and managing burnout, and strategically re-entering the work after a season of rest. 
• This year, the Workshop is partnering with Ashley M. Wilson, Founder of Flourishing Essentials, LLC to provide a safe, confidential space where participants can explore healthy boundaries and sustainable service, ensuring that those who advocate for others are also equipped to honor their own healing and well-being.
