Consent Advocate Training for SEAF Volunteers
Sun, Mar 15 from 9am - 12pm
- 21+
Consent advocates help create more consensual spaces by educating and providing support when something goes wrong with consent. It's a specialized role most people can learn to do with the proper training, support, and practice.
This training will cover the skills needed to do this work, including communication, intervention, and conflict resolution and more:
- The expectations & basics of the consent advocate role at SEAF
- Communication and active listening skills
- Working with trauma and people caught in acute trauma reactions
- Consent-Focused Psychological First Aid
- Basic intervention skills
***Two skill practice sessions are scheduled at Gallery Erato (309 1st Ave S. Seattle 98194) on 4/12/26 at 1:00-3:00pm and 4/21/26 at 7:00-9:00pm. Participants are expected to attend one of these in-person sessions in addition to this virtual class.
This training has been adapted from the Consent Academy's consent advocate trainings with specific information for SEAF volunteers. A Zoom link will be emailed a few minutes before the start of the training.
