“I also think that it's really valuable too, when you're structuring or planning for your prevention programming, to build in space for flexibility. And a lot of times we try and cram as much as we possibly can into a short period of time knowing that we usually have limited sessions, limited access, and being able to factor in that flexibility and give time and space to explore things further, or ask follow up questions, to understand more and give people a chance to navigate those pieces. If our programming is structured to just move on immediately, we'll never be able to address those. So when we're developing/planning for and developing our programming, building in flexibility is really valuable to help address this.”
Meg , Episode 1.6 “Addressing Oppression in Prevention Efforts”
“It's really important for you to examine your own positional and systems-based privilege, where you might experience marginalization, where you might experience privilege, how you've seen that show up in your life, what various advantages or barriers you face, and to do some of your own work to come to terms with that, and especially the ways -- because privilege is often invisible, think about the ways that your privilege might have manifested.”
