Feedback

University of Tennessee Martin Student

This was an awesome experience because I learned a lot of things that I didn’t previously know about bystander intervention.

The inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community and POC and how to heal/help underserved populations was absolutely amazing. This conference was a privilege/pleasure to be at and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to go.

If someone needs my help, I feel more comfortable after this training to take action.
