SUMMARY:"It Takes a Village: Community Care for Survivors” Q&A with Kitty Stryker
DESCRIPTION:Please note the update to this event that it is now by donation or pay what you can. \nKitty Stryker\, consultant to Juggalos and Sex Educators alike\, presents a talk on how to have thoughtful conversations about sexual assault when it impacts someone you love\, mixed with Q&A for attendees to ask questions about their own experiences and allyship. This event will focus on fostering a supportive environment for survivors and a learning environment for their allies\, as well as addressing how to respond when you’re the one who has crossed a boundary. \n2:30 Doors / 3 – 5 pm Talk and Q&A / Havana Theatre \nFinancial access options available. Contact Managing Director Pamela Bentley at pamelajoanbentley@gmail.com for information about these financial options.
