Conflict Resolution Clinics @ Community Boards

BYSTANDER INTERVENTION With Sharon Tom & Claudia Miller Online Via Zoom | November 4, 5:30-7:30 pm PST

Have you ever been in a situation where you witnessed someone in a difficult situation but didn’t know how to help? Would you like to live in a community where you know that everyone was of a mindset where we were not afraid to help and support each other? This workshop will provide insight into what keeps us from intervening, the impact this has on the community, and restorative responses and practices we can use to intervene and still be safe.
