Please note: There is no fee for this workshop and we ask that all participants pre-register.
Food will not be served; there is a cafeteria on site and/or you may bring your own.
Participants will:
- Explore new ways of working with survivors of abuse and trauma
- Understand the role of adrenaline and stress physiology and how it impacts our reactions to unsafe and potentially unsafe situations (participants will learn techniques for managing their natural adrenaline responses)
- Understand the ways in which managing stress responses and communicating assertive body language can enhance and improve the effectiveness of actions taken by bystanders (participants will be introduced to physical and verbal safety skills)
- Learn how these lessons can be applied to prevention work by engaging in challenging conversations that are relevant to bystander initiatives
- Have the opportunity to participate in physical and verbal safety skills (optional for participants)
Please note: There will be opportunities to practice some of the exercises and participation is completely optional and not required for attendance at this training; please dress comfortably if you plan to do so.
