Join the Wildflower Alliance's* three-day anti-oppression training Monday May 20th through Wednesday May 22nd, 9am to 5pm. This training aims to examine what being a “good” person really means, how to understand privilege and use it for good, effectively owning and apologizing for your missteps, and strategies for interrupting situations where people are saying or doing things rooted in oppressive ways of being and thinking.
This 3-day in person training will be held in Bangor. Priority is given to participants who are working to earn Maine's CIPSS certification. Preference given to people living in Northern areas of Maine. Others will be placed on a wait list.
Class will be 9am-5pm. You must attend all three days to earn Continuing Education Credit. This class is a requirement for all people earning and maintaining certification in Intentional Peer Support in Maine.
We want virtual Maine Intentional Peer Support spaces to be safe, welcoming, and inclusive. Harassment, hate speech, and inappropriate behavior of any kind, verbal or in the chat/Q&A, will not be tolerated.
We reserve the right to immediately remove any attendee we consider to be in breach of this conduct agreement. This includes anyone making racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise discriminatory, offensive, or hateful remarks. Continued conversations that disrupt the topic of the class may also result in removal from class.
Removed participants will not be able to re-join the session, or, if applicable, join any of the rest of the sessions in a day or series of events. In order to avoid the derailing of sessions we will not enter into conversations around why conduct was deemed inappropriate in the sessions themselves but will schedule a follow up conversation in order to discuss next steps and the best path forward for all training participants.
