Bystander Intervention Training
September 13 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm PDT
What do you do when you witness overt homophobia or transphobia? Most of us regret not intervening, and studies show that people don’t take action because they don’t know what to do. In this interactive class, taught by Jamie Wolfe, participants will learn nonviolent ways to intervene when they witness someone being verbally harmed or they hear a hurtful “joke.” This allyship in action is a learned skill and helping without causing more harm requires practice.
This special event will be held at Beacon Hill Library and last two hours. Registration is required.
All are welcome. Please join us.
