When you hear victim blaming, your silence can feel like agreement. That is why intervention is important. However, intervention doesn’t mean yelling. It means 1) calling them in with calm, 2) challenging the myth, not the person, 3) providing education, 4) redirecting to support survivors.

We hope to see you there!!💛🖤
