Join us for a free introduction to the Social Justice practice of the “Five Ds” of Bystander Intervention with talk and discussion.
Sunday, November 10th,
after the 10:00 am service around 11:30 am
at St. Gabriel the Archangel Church
At this event we will have a conversation on the 5 Ds of Bystander Intervention. From encountering someone in a mental health crisis to witnessing micro-aggressions, there are moments when we see something happening where we feel called to help, but aren’t quite sure what to say or do.
This conversation will help you develop strategies to deepen your connection to your community through learning to support in challenging moments, in ways that are community-oriented, anti-hate, and non-threatening.
I am so pleased to introduce our presenter, Rashelle Chase-Miller. I met her when I attended this
event previously and it was so exciting somehow, uplifting and hopeful! Rashelle does these events as her community contribution to social justice. I asked if she could do one at St. Gabriel’s and the answer is yes!
