P.S.: It can happen quickly or over time, but at its core it’s a process of taking advantage of trust to shift expectations of what safe behavior is and leveraging fear and shame to keep a victim silent.

The Initial Contact

Whether it’s through a gaming app or those sneaky DMs, every conversation starts somewhere. But, what happens after that initial contact? Do you stay and talk? Do you move to another platform?

Boundaries

We hear about them all the time, we may be figuring out what they are and how to set ones that feel right, but how and when do we actually put them into action? Do we let things slide because someone is cute, or do we stand firm and stand our ground in what we want?

The Big Ask

When you feel and know that line has been crossed, what do you do? Is it better to just block or report? Keep it to yourself or share with someone else? Handle it on your own or talk about it with someone you trust?

The Exit Strategy

These lines are being crossed all the time. We are not here to judge and hope you aren’t either. So what happens when you realize you may have been groomed and are in a tough situation? Or when someone is threatening you? Or if your  nude is leaked or shared? What are the next “right steps?”
