Description
This one‑hour interactive training explores what meaningful allyship looks like in practice—individually, collectively, and within community spaces. Participants will examine how identity, privilege, and lived experience shape community engagement and mental health support; learn how to recognize and interrupt harmful dynamics; and practice culturally responsive approaches to support individuals and communities.
Through guided dialogue, reflection, and real‑world scenarios, participants will strengthen their ability to show up as intentional, accountable, and community‑centered allies.
