Consent Risk Assessment

Consent is complicated. There are many different aspects to it. And it can be hard to know how to protect yourself from both committing a consent violation or from having one committed against you. We're going to look at different aspects of consent, explore related risk factors, and talk about how to manage them. While there is no way to reduce risk to 0 when interacting with another human being, there are many ways to both understand and reduce the consent risks we face. Together we'll work on what risks you might be facing and how to lower that risk.

Please bring your own situations and questions to share. This workshop is for both people concerned about ways to reduce their risk of consent violation and about the risk of upholding the consent of others.

3 Hours with Q&A throughout. Handouts and Zoom link will be emailed on the day of the class. If you are purchasing for a group, please make sure you forward these emails to everyone in your group.
