Upstander Intervention and De-Escalation Training

Join the PBF and ARE's LGBTQ+ Center for this ninety-minute workshop, designed for individuals who want to learn tactics to safely intervene when they see someone being harassed in public, but aren’t sure what to say – or how to make sure they don’t make things worse. Taught by PBF writer-in-residence and advocate Audacia Ray, this workshop supports participants in assessing public situations where harassment or hate violence appears to be a threat and creates space for folks to practice techniques to de-escalate situations while also considering their own and others’ context and social dynamics. While there is no cost to attend, we do ask that you RSVP to ensure we have enough seats! Light refreshments will be provided.

Please note: due to inclement weather, this event will be held in a second-story space that only has stair access. We apologize for the lack of accessibility for this particular event!…
