What We Do
We open a dialogue about consent pre-event, provide resources and information around the festival site and have a space onsite where further conversation can be facilitated.
We provide customized information about regional and local mental health community resources.
We are on-call 24/7 during an event to respond at the request of Security, Medical and Production staff to intervene and assess mental health emergencies and triage accordingly.
We serve as advocates and liaisons for anyone who is subjected to a consent violation and requires law enforcement intervention.
