Unlearning anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, and discriminatory behaviours, actions, and language as it relates to one’s various intersectional identities is a very difficult process. As you engage in tough conversations and challenge your pre-existing ideologies, you may experience feelings and emotions that can be very uncomfortable at times. The feelings that arise may be new feelings, past trauma, or even feelings you weren't aware that you had — all of which may be very difficult to both identify and process.

While we have taken steps to create a safe space for all individuals engaging in our workshops, we acknowledge and understand that participants may experience these uncomfortable feelings. We are always committed to protecting your psychological safety. We also want all participants to know that if they should feel concerned for their psychological safety or mental health at any point during our workshops, they should feel free to leave the presentation in order to ensure their individual safety and well-being. Should you feel any discomfort or duress following the conclusion of our workshops, we strongly encourage you to reach out to a mental health professional who will be able to aid you in working through your feelings. If you do not have a trusted mental health professional whom you feel comfortable connecting with, please check out the list of resources that we have compiled below, or reach out to us directly for additional options and support.
