We Got Us: Community Agreements and Planning for Safety + Care in Conflict Response
Feb. 20th, 2026- Many of our communities and workplaces have normalized having community agreements at the beginning of a training, program, or in their collaboration in general - but how do we make sure those can actually effectively be used once conflict and harm have occurred?

Do you feel confident in your ability to name and interrupt when an agreement is violated? We find that community agreements should be paired with a right sized safety and care plan that can be drawn on as needed in moments of dysregulation and to get support beyond the people present in the space. As an abolitionist collective, we are committed to responding to safety concerns without mandatory reporting - safety + care plans are critical to following through on these commitments. In this webinar we will walk through the agreements we use in conflict mediation, and how we respond when they are violated without punishment. We will also walk through some of our favorite safety planning resources - specifically from the Creative Interventions Toolkit - as well as Spring Up’s mediation safety + care plan worksheet, with examples of how we have used it to response to safety concerns and challenging moments.
Live webinar on Friday, Feb. 20th, 2026 from 5-6:30pm ET/4-5:30pm CT/3-4:30pm MT/2-3:30pm PT! A captioned recording will be available after the live session for all registrants.
