Happy New Year!
As we begin a new year, we want to take a moment to welcome you back into our shared work with care, intention, and gratitude.
CSVANW staff returned to work on January 7, 2026, following a season of radical rest and reflection. As we gently find our footing again, we are entering this year not with urgency, but with clarity. We are listening closely to our bodies, our communities, and our responsibilities, remembering that sustainable change requires both action and pause.
This month has invited us to reflect on how far we’ve come as a Coalition and to honor the resilience of survivors, advocates, staff, youth, and community members who continue to show up, often in quiet but powerful ways. As we move forward, we carry the lessons of rest, balance, and cultural grounding with us.
What’s Coming Up at CSVANW
We are stepping into 2026 with meaningful work ahead, including:
Strategic Planning for the Next Three Years
We are engaging in a thoughtful process to shape CSVANW’s vision, priorities, and long-term sustainability. If you are interested in facilitating our Strategic Planning Session in March, please apply through our RFP. LEARN MORE.
Breaking Cycles of Violence Conference
Preparations are underway for our annual conference, formerly known as the Tribal Leaders Summit. This year’s conference will take place April 7–8 at Isleta Resort & Casino. Registration is now open! REGISTER.
Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (February)
Throughout February, CSVANW invites families, educators, advocates, and community leaders to stand with Native youth, creating spaces for honest conversation, modeling healthy relationships, and carrying forward teachings rooted in respect, dignity, and collective care. LEARN MORE.
Kher-kem (thank you) for walking alongside CSVANW, for believing in the power of community, and for continuing to break cycles with courage and care. We are honored to begin another year together.
With gratitude and warmth,
