Elevatus
-
By providing accurate and practical educational materials and trainings we hope to elevate, educate and navigate this topic. Many people have said that talking about sexuality was a lot easier than they thought it would be and have gained confidence in this area with just a little support. Remember, ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is power. People with disabilities deserve and need knowledge just like anyone else, and, you can help elevate us all.
Bystander Intervention
-
Bystander Intervention: Being harassed or abused, regardless of the why (race, sex, religion, gender, size, orientation, disability, age, origin, etc.) is a very traumatic experience. But imagine that it happens while surrounded by lots of others (bystanders) who see what is happening, but then do nothing. The steps of intervening include being able to identify potentially risky behaviors and recognize behaviors that could lead to a high risk situation, identify how you decide whether or not to take action (There is no “right way” to show support to someone being targeted and harassed), identify what options you have to take action, and build necessary skills to feel confident in taking action. The goals of bystander intervention are to reduce harm in the moment and make our presence known to the person who is being harassed or has the potential to be hurt, and ultimately change the behaviors that could cause harm, and also to continue to be a bystander after harmful things occur by following up and working with others to create a culture of respect.
Self Defense Classes
-
