Tim Mousseau on Combating Sexual Violence

December 9, 2021
The Denizen Theatre
New Paltz, NY

“We need to understand the language we use; for example there is a difference between ‘are you ok with this’ and ‘how do you feel about this’ in terms of asking consent.”
– Tim Mousseau

On December 9, 2021, we held our fall community program for the public. Nationally recognized educator and speaker, Tim Mousseau, came to New Paltz and spoke with educators, teens, parents and community members about issues around consent, sexual violence prevention, and more. We are so grateful to Tim for sharing and creating a safe space for all attendees.⠀
