Life of the Party: Staying Safe While Having Fun in Vancouver w/ Good Night Out

Stacey Forrester of Vancouver safety advocacy organization Good Night Out will lead you through consent basics, substance use awareness, bystander intervention and more preventative strategies. Session one of two available to students this fall.

About

Good Night Out was founded out of an awareness of the links between alcohol consumption and sexual aggression and initiated from community concerns that staff and patrons in the nightlife, music and hospitality sectors could benefit from education around how to recognize, interrupt, and prevent sexual harassment and assault.

We use recent research and best practices on gendered violence, bystander intervention, and anti-oppressive techniques to create a variety of original educational tools, interventions and messaging aimed at reducing gendered and homophobic harassment and violence in our city’s arts, culture and entertainment scene.

Good Night Out is committed to engaging the industry on these issues in ways that are authentic, meaningful and interactive while remaining survivor-centered.
