Customized workshops, presentations and on-going sessions are designed in collaboration with LGBTQ Communities and Organizations
Sessions focus on the skills identified in prior listening sessions or meetings with communities or organizations that request our services.
Workshops focus on building trust and safety for sharing information and collaboration.
EMERJ-SafeNow customizes personal safety/care-defense skills to meet the needs of the participants, taking into consideration past traumatic experiences, gender, sexual orientation, age and ability of participants.
