With great gratitude, we are able to continue offering these impactful modules thanks to the support of Corporate Members Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) and Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA). We believe strongly that this collaboration between our organizations will result in these trainings reaching more team members in our industry, creating safer work environments for all. Read more.

Level 1: Sexual Misconduct Prevention & Response Training 

In this 90-minute session, RAINN will begin with exploring the complexities of sexual misconduct and how common misconceptions play a role in the experiences of survivors. Participants will deepen their understanding of the link between power dynamics and common responses to trauma. With this foundational knowledge, participants will learn skills and strategies for creating safe, supportive communities. These strategies will include practical tools for setting and protecting boundaries, intervening in potentially unsafe or uncomfortable situations, and supporting survivors in sensitive, trauma-informed ways. 

Level 2: Strategies for Creating Safer, Healthier Communities

Building upon the education and skills learned in RAINN’s Level 1 Training, this 90-minute session will be a deeper dive into understanding the complexities of sexual misconduct, including recognizing pervasive myths and misconceptions as well as understanding how our own biases influence our responses. In this interactive, skills-based session, participants will deepen their understanding of how to create safer, supportive communities through the application of strategies around boundary-setting, bystander intervention, and community conversations, and how to promote community-wide change through a trauma-informed framework.
