LUNCH KEYNOTE – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; What, Why and How

EITHER IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL  | PRESENTED BY:  Jim Bitterle

HIDDEN ::

This workshop will focus on ways of integrating prevention tools in assisting individuals who live with differing abilities and those professionals who support them. Bystander intervention programs often do not consider the unique lived experiences and challenges of those from these communities. This training is built on the foundations of MCEDSV’s Great Lakes model: trauma informed, survivor centered, and intersectional. This training will cover the foundational understanding of what sexual violence is, with recognition to the intersectionality of those from these communities. Trainers will then walk through both peer-to-peer bystander intervention techniques and professional policy and procedures that encourage prevention of sexual violence.

This training if done in person or virtually will take into account neurodivergence, differing lived experiences, and learning styles. This will include 508 compliance for all materials given out.
