"To interrupt the impacts of exhaustion and habits of doingness and overwork and to create the conditions for emotional and physical well-being and wholeness necessary when working within the movement to end violence against Native women and families, NIWRC will close from December 18 to January 5, 2024. Our staff will use this time to rest and rejuvenate for the coming year. We will respond to your inquiry upon our return the week of January 8th."
