Need a sexual harassment presentation or seminar for your workplace/Military base? 

Many many workplaces in WA go through anti-sexual harassment training, why not make it interesting? Do you know the difference between sexual harassment and flirting? Did you know straight men sexually harass one another all the time in America? Did you know women do it too? Are you familiar with the work done by anti-sexual harassment activists on Twitter? TS strives to make presentations relevant, interesting, and even funny. Too many trainings are boring or unintelligent, and turn off workers. If you're going to spend the time and money, make it worth it! And with a webinar, no one even needs to leave their desk.

Do you work with or have children? Would you want to know practical, everyday ways to keep them safe?

This is TS' most wanted presentation. We worry unnecessarily about Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) when we don't need to, and completely ignore warning signs when we should be doing something. It's relatively easy to take REAL steps to protect children, though no one can guarantee their safety 100% (It's all the perpetrator's fault. If they didn't do terrible things, we wouldn't have a problem, would we?). This presentation will go over the biggest myths and facts of CSA.

There's is now a part 2 for older kids! TS will look at threats from alcohol & drugs, adults who prey on teens, sex trafficking, and pornography.

Drugs and Alcohol have a surprising relationship with Sexual Assault. Do you know the definition of 2nd degree rape?

All over televison, characters are committing 2nd degree rape, according to federal and WA state law. Having sex with someone who is clearly under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is rape. Meanwhile, we have all these media influences telling us that this behavior is normal, or even funny. No wonder we have so many people needing to bury their trauma in addiction. That's right, on both ends of sexual assault, drugs and alcohol rear their ugly heads. This presentation is perfect for students, at-risk populations, anti-human trafficking advocates, homeless ministry, addiction recovery groups, prison populations. and more.

Do you work at a church, school, youth program, health clinic, first responder location, or anywhere else where a victim/survivor may disclose a sexual assault?

What do you say when someone tells you they've experienced sexual assault? TS cannot stress enough the importance of a supportive response. Or how many myths about victims are flying around in America. These myths need to die.You may be the first person the survivor ever told--and you have the power to protect their feelings. Did you know 70-80% of sexual assaults are committed by a person familiar to the victim? Why do we all fear stranger attacks, when acquaintance-rape, date-rape, intimate partner sexual violence, and marital rape are more likely? Dig deep and get real information with Truth Speaks. You'll feel better knowing the truth.

Dating and Domestic Violence (DV) is a big issue in our society. Can we educate not only young, but older people as well, on how to have a healthy relationship?

Turn on the news any day, and we hear of violence against women from their partners. Try to find numbers on male victims, and you'll find A SUSPICIOUSLY BIG VOID in our knowledge. TS' DV and Healthy Relationships covers how to spot a DV relationship, how to help, resources and safety planning, and what to look for in a healthy relationship. From students to pastors to parents, the audience can feel more confident in keeping abusers away. 

How many times do we hear about Porn's affect on viewers?

But when do we ever hear about it's affect on the "performers"? What if they aren't actually willing participants? In TS' newest presentation "Sex Trafficking and ...Pornography: Slavery in Screen" we put the focus back on who really matters--the people being watched.
