September 2021 NOPBC Thursday Webinar:

The Practice of Consent and Boundaries Throughout the Lifespan

Sep 30, 2021 07:00 PM

Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Join us as we discuss the daily practice that empowers individuals, families, schools, and communities to grow together.

This session is geared toward blind and sighted adolescents and adults, parents, and family members, as well as anyone who works with blind individuals in educational, healthcare, and professional settings.

Panelists:

Bobbi Pompey
Danielle Montour
Lisamaria Martinez

Registration is required.
This webinar will be recorded.
Door prizes will only be available to those attending via zoom.
Please share with any who may be interested.

Content Warning:

This webinar addresses consent and boundaries, in the setting of the awareness of sensitive topics regarding misconduct in the blind community.
This is an educational discussion to learn about physical, mental, and emotional consent and how consent looks based on developmental stages. This is not a platform to share one's past traumatic events.

As the parents’ division in the leading civil rights organization of the blind in the United States, every day we work toward equity, equality, enriching experiences in our blind community. We thank the brave survivors for sharing their stories during a recent movement under the hashtag #MarchingTogether. We are committed to learning how to better support survivors and victims, prevent future instances through fostering a culture of consent within our communities, and empower individuals to address systemic issues of this nature.

The NFB’s Safety & Support Initiative:

We appreciate each of you and want to express our gratitude to you for being willing to have these ongoing discussions with us.

Best,

Board of Directors

The current invite notes door prizes for zoom attendees only.

Are we okay to just do 2 door prizes this time, once the recording has been turned off?

If we aren’t going to do door prizes at all, I will need to remove that from the invite and registration ASAP.

Thanks, Sarah

Thank you all. I'm leaning toward no prizes at all. To my mind, the purpose of the prizes is to generate interest in attending. That purpose is not fulfilled if we (1) refrain from advertising the availability of door prizes and (2) completely separate the prize distribution from the webinar.

Thus, I recommend that we suspend door prizes for this month's webinar.

Carlton

I agree--no prizes or a low-key format.

What are your thoughts on not doing 3rd Thursday door prizes this month? I feel like intermittent prizes...which typically have involved spinning a wheel and a naturally celebratory announcement...would not seem appropriate or sensitive this month given the delicate and serious nature of the topic being discussed. Thoughts?
