We want to be available during the „official“ event times, so:
Outside these times, we could very well be available, but it can also be that you have to wait for an answer until the next „official“ timeslot.
The DiVOC is an experiment for us, as well. Please be lenient with us, if not everything works as expected…
We work on the basis of confidentiality - only communicating internally, in an anonymized form - and that only the affected person can determine whether their personal boundaries were violated.
We want to be there for you, so please turn to us with your problems. Generally we will first ask you what happened and whether you already have a concrete idea of what we can do for you.
It is alright if you can’t or don’t want to talk about something. Every reaction, whether grief, anger, desperation, speechlessness, … is okay. Whether we should go talk to someone who violated your boundaries is always your decision – we will never force that on you.
Respectful behaviour amongst each other, including respect of personal boundaries, ought to be the standard, but offline as well as online there may be situations where people are discriminated against in word or deed. Sexism, racism, homo- and trans-antagonism, ableism and all other forms of discrimination are never okay, even if they happen unintentionally.
Disclaimer: The Awareness team is made up of people who are mindful of Awareness and who want to support you to the best of their ability. Please forgive us if we might not be able to support you as much as you would wish us to do. We explicitly want to point out that we do not have any sort of therapeutic training.
