Description
Most sexual violence is done by people we know. What can parents, teens, and community members do about it?
Meg Stone, author of The Cost of Fear, will offer practical, gender-inclusive strategies for learning safety skills important for resisting coercion, intimidation, and violence. Avoiding violence is about developing skills, not following rules.
We will cover:
- Demonstration: Learn practical safety gender-inclusive skills.
- Resist coercion: Skills to resist friends, those we know, or authority.
- Empowerment: Feel powerful in stressful situations.
- Community impact: Personal safety leads to social change.
All requests for interpretation must be made by 4/18 in the registration form.
