After the training, ambassadors are given resources and support to share what they have learned with those around them in ways that feel most comfortable to them. They are encouraged to start conversations and help others to better understand the barriers that survivors face in speaking out. An ambassador can commit as much or as little time as they can give We’ll keep in touch with new opportunities and events such as meet-ups, campaign involvement and volunteering.
