From Community Minister Elæ Moss Benedetto:

This is an AMAZING program, offered for free, put together in collaboration with organizers and mutual aid orgs across the city, responding to our continued need to feel and be prepared for any number of scenarios -- and to acknowledge and sit with our bodyminds and how much they are carrying right now!

Feeling confident and informed makes such a difference not only in our physical actions on the ground but also how traumatized we feel -- not only in anticipation, during, and after challenging events. Skill training in community health and safety serves to demystify areas of fear, moving us out of uninformed panic into a space of discernment and familiarity with best practices.
