What Is Harmful Behavior?

Harm happens when someone hurts someone because of their identity (race, ethnicity, ability, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, etc).

This can be:

• Someone saying something mean about someone else’s identity
• Someone being treated differently because of how they look, talk, or behave
• Someone being left out or ignored because of their identity
• Someone making assumptions about someone else based on their identity
• Any action that makes someone feel bad about who they are because of their identity

What Happens If I Tell Someone?

• We* get your report (what you share is private)
• We respond based on what is shared
• We put together a Support Team of at least three people, including caring youth (16+), adults, and your parent/guardian if you’re under 18
• (If you were harmed) You stay in control (you choose the steps)
• (If you caused harm) Thank you for wanting to grow and learn; what happens next is about what the harmed person needs, and we are here to listen and learn with you
• We focus on helping everyone find what can help them start to feel better

*”We” means the people you choose as your support team and alicia (or another FGC staff member if desired).

Do I Have to Fill Out This Form to Tell Someone?

No. You can get share/get help by:

• Coming to the Friends of Color Center
• Finding a trusted friend or youth (16+)
• Finding an FGC staff member or volunteer
• Finding your parent/guardian or another trusted adult
