BSFFETA trainings will include the following statement provided to participants at the start of the training: “As the presenter of this training, I acknowledge and accept that each of us represents a unique combination of age, race, ethnicity, culture, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, ability, language, socioeconomic status, political or philosophical perspective, as well as  other aspects of identity and association which involve varying degrees of shared privilege and/or oppression with accompanying sensibilities, sensitivities, vulnerabilities, insights and ignorance.

​

“We also understand that many groups within our human family suffer varying degrees of prejudice, discrimination, oppression, and alienation in our Society. We seek in this training experience to cherish our shared universal humanity even as we seek to see, accept, acknowledge, honor, respect, and include each of you equally while respecting your individuality. We also seek to respect any cultural traditions referenced in this workshop. If there is reasonable accommodation you require to mitigate a physical disability in order to be able to participate in this training, please let us know, and we will do our best within our means to support your needs.

​

“Although we’re continually seeking the awareness, wisdom, empathy, and compassion to fulfill all our intentions in this regard, being human, we may still fall short in some way. Should it happen that anyone participating in this training experience any offense in this regard, we ask your forgiveness and, although we know it’s not your responsibility, we humbly request your feedback to inform us as soon as possible and via the workshop feedback forms provided at the end of the training so that every effort can be made to resolve the issue. Please let us know what happened, how it affected you, and what would have been an appropriate alternative, so that we can address the issue and make any necessary amends. “The universality and uniqueness within each of us has a combined value beyond measure. Thank you for being exactly who you are. We hope to fulfill our intention to honor each of you equally.
