Krystal uses trauma-informed, intersectional, anti-oppressive and human rights-based approaches.

Public Speaking

Krystal has spoken to a variety of audiences, including fire departments, front-line workers, doctors, students, and those working to end gender-based violence. She is able to facilitate her message to groups as large as 250 people and as intimate as 10 people. If you are looking for someone to speak to your group about gender-based violence, human trafficking, and community collaboration, connect with us!

Training

We provide agency and individual training on the identification and intervention of human trafficking and symptoms of trauma associated with gender-based violence. In our agency training, we take a specific look at the ways in which trafficking will appear in the agency.

Free Virtual Empowerment Workshop

At Collaborative Community Solutions, we believe that one way we can prevent human trafficking is by empowering young girls and non binary youth at a young age. We provide engaging workshops that are based on naming the tools that we have in place and discussing gender stereotypes while fostering healthy mind and body connection.
