This workshop lasts 30-45 minutes.

  • Know It, Name it, Stop It: Stalking Awareness and Prevention 
    It is important to really understand what stalking is (and is not). Continue to educate yourself on stalking. Educating your community on stalking can make victims more aware of when they are being stalked and more likely to take the threat seriously and seek help. We have the power to end stalking. Stalkers stalk because they know they can get away with it. We can change that. This workshop lasts 60-90 minutes.
  • Safety Planning

This is a trauma-informed workshop to discuss concerning behaviors to look out for and how to safety plan for yourself or someone you care about.
