The leadership and staff of Faces & Voices of Recovery are committed to providing the best possible experience to guests of all our events - particularly in learning environments.
We expect our events to be respectful and harassment-free environments for people of all races, gender identifications, sexual orientations, abilities, nationalities, ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, and beliefs.
It is therefore expected that staff, supporters, volunteers, attendees, and speakers at Faces & Voices events:
- Make considerate, conscientious decisions.
- Have professional, respectful conversations that leave room for multiple points of view to coexist harmoniously - even when there is a stark difference in opinion.
- Are mindful of personal limits, physical boundaries, and the need for space. If you suspect someone is uncomfortable - whether they say so explicitly or not - adjust your behavior accordingly.
- Refrain from discriminatory, degrading, and/or harassing behavior. Unacceptable behaviors include, but are not limited to:
- Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise discriminatory jokes or language
- Physical intimidation
- Disregard of boundaries
