Trainings & Workshops
“I liked the scenarios of clear actions to take. I especially appreciated the centring of social location and how oppression interacts with our experience of violence and also how we intervene/respond as community members.”
TakeCareTMU is our bystander intervention program that uses an intersectional, community-based approach.
When we witness harm, we can feel frozen, unsure or worried that if we address it, we could make it worse. In this session, participants will learn about the power of bystander intervention and get a chance to practice skills for disrupting harm, directly and indirectly.
Length: 2 hours
Responding supportively when someone discloses an experience of sexual violence can greatly impact a survivor’s well-being. This session will teach participants to respond to disclosures in a trauma-informed manner by understanding sexual violence through an intersectional lens, unpacking sexual violence myths and realities, and exploring the differences between disclosures and reports. Participants will also learn about relevant campus and community support resources.
