Learn skills and strategies to build healthy relationships and also to keep yourself and safe from harm including bullying, harassment, assault, and other violence in the community, on the job, at school, online – everywhere. Skills include how to:
Be and act aware, calm, and confident, in person and also online because awareness can stop most problems before they start
Set clear, respectful boundaries – and respect others’ boundaries, too! because boundaries support healthy relationships – and also help prevent bullying & abuse
Use words safely – and protect ourselves from others’ words, in person and online to protect your feelings, think clearly, and make wiser choices
Identify other adults who can help you prevent, avoid, and solve safety problems because adults of all abilities are safer when they have mentors & others they can turn to for help
Be persistent & assertive to get help from strangers, service providers, and friends because different problems need different kinds of help – and we all deserve to be safe
Recognize trouble before it grows – and move away toward safety because leaving, avoiding, and preventing trouble can prevent more dangerous problems
Be safe in public and with strangers – including online because we each deserve to feel safe on transit, on the sidewalk, at work, out shopping – everywhere.
If you need disability-related accommodations or would like to participate to support the safety of someone whose abilities make learning through a Zoom-based class difficult, please let us know when you enroll: Brianna Sendziak, brianna@ilrcsf.org
