#OurHouse: Risk Management and Harm Reduction Workshops and Consultation
In April 2015, we launched Our House, Our Rules, Our Responsibility. Use our Party Toolkit and other online resources to create gatherings that stay "social not slurred" throughout the night. Intervene effectively if problems arise. Safety and well-being are the top priority. Email partysafe@berkeley.edu to discuss your questions and to schedule a consultation.
