From the Netflix show 'You' to the stereotypes of a creepy man in a trench coat, the lies we’re taught about stalking keep us from understanding the problem and recognizing when a friend needs help. Join Julie and Crickett - friends, activists, prevention educators, and often mistaken for each other – for a chat about the current realities of criminal harassment as well as tips for preventing stalking from happening in the first place. Speaking from professional AND personal experience, they will give participants the tools to spot stalking behaviours when they start so that we can better look out for each other.
Julie S. Lalonde (@JulieSLalonde) is a public educator, activist, and creator of Outside of the Shadows (@OutsideOfTheShadowsProject), a project to end criminal harassment in Canada.
