Mad Hatter is SOLD OUT and presented by Old National Bank!

JOIN THE WAITLIST!

Now in its 34th year, this event, voted one of Nashville's most fashionable parties, brings 400+ community members together each fall to celebrate and support survivors of sexual violence. Guests will enjoy an auction that elevates every year, food stations, engaging mission moments, and much more.

This year's goal: $400,000 — enough to provide 37 survivors with a forensic exam and a full year of therapy.

This online training will certify you as a trainer for the Safe Bar program in Tennessee, and equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to identify and intervene safely when you see sexual harassment or assault. You will receive a wealth of resources for ongoing education and learn how to use the material to train bar staff across Tennessee.

*PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
- This is a training that will certify individuals as a trainer of Safe Bar. Participants must have an SAC trainer shadow their first training.
- This workshop is participatory and requires active engagement from all attendees, including having cameras on throughout the duration of the training.
- Anyone is welcome to join this training, but this Safe Bar program is specific to Tennessee.

For questions, please contact Safe Bar Statewide Training Specialist Jack Ohmes at johmes@sacenter.org

Have you been curious about getting more involved with SAC but aren't sure how? Join us for a volunteer interest meeting Monday October 5th from 6pm-7pm to learn all the ways you can become part of our fantastic team of volunteers!

Sexual Development 0-18: Behaviors, Identity, and Trauma (2 CEUs available)

The physiological components of trauma, including neurobiology and nervous system dysregulation, are the main focus of this training. We will discuss how traumatic experiences can alter brain function, resulting in experiences and behaviors that are commonly misunderstood by professionals working with survivors of sexual assault. Participants will leave with an understanding of brain development and functioning as it relates to sexual assault as well as common, involuntary responses to sexual assault, and how to apply these concepts to increase safety and care for survivors.
