MOmentum - The Making of a SAFE Bar

https://www.linkedin.com/in/haleighharrold/https://www.linkedin.com/in/haleighharroThe SAFE Bar Network’s Kevin Fitzpatrick and Haleigh Harrold joined Matthew Huffman,

from the Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence for this month's installment of the MOmentum webcast – Preventing Sexual Harassment and Assault in Bars.

Their conversation spanned launching the SAFE Bar Network, the impact of COVID-19 on SAFE Bar training, and expanding the SAFE Bar Network across the country.

Haleigh Harrold explains the magic of the SAFE Bar Training.

SAFE Bar Training highlights active bystander skills but the focus is really learning how to have a conversation about using these skills to interrupt unsafe and uncomfortable behavior.

Kevin Fitzpatrick, bar owner and SAFE Bar Network co-founder describes the culture change he has seen at his bars as a result of SAFE Bar Training.
