SUMMARY:STAND UP FOR SAFETY WORKSHOPS
DESCRIPTION:In the Mad River Valley\, we believe that everyone — whether they live here\, work here\, or visit — deserves to feel safe. To support that vision the chamber’s is launching a new series of Stand Up for Safety workshops designed to help hospitality workers recognize and respond to situations that may threaten the safety or well-being of themselves\, their co-workers\, or their guests. \nThese interactive sessions will equip front-line staff with practical tools to: \n\nRecognize signs of harm\, harassment\, or exploitation\nRespond appropriately and safely when concerns arise\nConnect individuals in need with the right support services\n\nThe workshops are approachable\, hands-on\, and rooted in real-world hospitality settings — from restaurants and inns to shops and recreation businesses. While the curriculum is still being finalized\, the goal is clear: to ensure the Mad River Valley remains a safe and welcoming place for all. The workshops are organized and facilitated by Anna Nassset Consulting. \nUpcoming Workshops will all take place at the MRV Chamber Welcome Center \n\nJanuary 22 – 10-11 am: Understanding DV\, HT\, and Stalking\nExplore how to identify and respond to domestic violence\, human trafficking\, and stalking in both customers and co-workers\, and learn about available local and national resources.\nApril 7- 10-11 am: Sexual Assault Awareness Month\nLearn to recognize early warning signs of sexual assault\, how to respond to disclosures\, and how to connect survivors with resources and support.\nAugust 5 – 10-11 am: Workplace Culture\nDiscover how to build a supportive workplace culture where all employees feel safe and valued\, through stories\, exercises\, and practical leadership strategies.\nBack in October 22  GBV Bystander Training was offered\nWe learned the basics of gender-based violence prevention\, including the 4D’s of bystander intervention\, and how to empower yourself and others to make a difference.\n\nA Community Commitment\n“Hospitality is the backbone of the Mad River Valley’s economy and culture\,” said Eric Friedman\, Executive Director of the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce. “By giving our front-line staff the tools and confidence to recognize and respond to difficult situations\, we’re not just protecting individuals — we’re strengthening the fabric of our community and ensuring the Valley remains a safe\, welcoming place for everyone.” \nAbout Stand Up for Safety\nA collaboration between local businesses\, resorts\, and organizations committed to standing up to gender-based violence and fostering a culture of care in the Mad River Valley. \nFor more information about the workshops\, or to learn how your business can get involved\, please contact info@madriverrvalley.com and/or visit www.madrivervalley.com/stand-up-for-safety \n
