Do you want to stay safe?

MindOut will be running Personal Safety Workshops to equip people with personal safety skills.

The personal safety trainers specialise in working for groups with differing needs. A good sense of personal safety is an important aspect of someone’s wellbeing and can make a real difference for participation in city life.

Jason Saw, Team Leader at MindOut said: “Many of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people who use our services talk to us about personal safety. Some worry about or have found themselves in situations where they feel unsafe, while others have been threatened or have experienced violence.

“The workshops aim to explore personal safety issues and concerns experienced by LGBT individuals and communities and will help participants improve self-confidence, assert personal boundaries, stay safe and manage threatening situations”

The workshops are free to participants, with a £10 deposit refundable on completion of the workshop.

Places are limited. If you would like to book a place or talk to MindOut about the workshops, or if you have any other concerns about your personal safety, get in touch.
