The mission of Safe Bar is to work with local bars & restaurants in raising awareness about alcohol's role in sexual assault, engaging bar owners and staff in bystander intervention, and working together to do our part to prevent sexual violence across Tennessee.

Learning Objectives of Safe Bar:

• Identify strategies to cultivate a safe and inclusive environment 
• Demonstrate ability to intervene in situations where there is a risk of sexual assault
• Identify the five types of bystander intervention strategies
• Identify common responses to trauma
• Identify appropriate responses to a disclosure of sexual assault

Join us for the next conversation on how the overturning of Roe v. Wade has been impacting survivors of sexual assault and what you can do about it. Sexual Assault Center (SAC) has always provided trauma informed, victim-centered services and support; the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade will not change SAC’s approach to the care we provide. Currently Tennessee has no exceptions for rape and incest when it comes to abortion access. Paramount to our mission and healing for survivors is to protect the rights, decisions, and control over their health and healing.

This meeting is a bipartisan discussion where people can learn and share ideas respectfully in a safe space. Sign up today to reserve your spot! Location to be announced.
