Now more than ever, it’s going to take community to keep each other safe and minimize harm. No one is born with these skills, it takes lifelong learning and practice to keep the tools in your harm reduction toolbox sharp. Whether you’ve attended workshops before or this is your first time, this is the space for you!
Bystander Intervention/De-escalation training will focus on ways to intervene in public instances of racist, sexist, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, anti-Trans, and other forms of oppressive interpersonal violence and harassment while considering the safety of all parties. The physical and vocal practice of various strategies is designed to change social norms and encourage people to find ways to interrupt violence and prevent further harm.
This workshop includes a learning segment of tips and strategies, how to document, knowing your rights as an intervener, and practice scenarios constructed on ways to show up and support a diversity of indentities through an intersectional lense, both as the intervener and the person experiencing harm.
Location is accessible.
