RVA TNG - Risk Profiles & Consent
2025-01-15 19:30 - 21:00 UTC | Fallout RVA, 117 North 18th Street, Richmond, VA, United States
A risk profile is a set of guidelines that outline what risks you may or may not be willing to take when playing. Some risks are obvious, but what about the more nuanced possibilities? What considerations should you have around the potential for accidents? How can we mitigate these risks? This educational will help guide you through potential risks to a wide variety of play, creating your own risk profile, forming a more nuanced perspective of things to consider when creating a risk profile and effectively negotiating. This will be partially discussion, partially educational, and partially hands on with worksheets you can take with you.

REVIVE! Lay Rescuer Training
2025-09-06 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Fallout RVA, 117 North 18th Street, Richmond, VA, United States
REVIVE! is the Opioid Overdose and Naloxone Education (OONE) program in Virginia.
REVIVE! training is one strategy in the harm reduction toolbelt designed to overcome the negative consequences of opioid use. Harm reduction is a practice that protects both individual and community health by addressing unnecessarily dangerous, and often deadly, realities of substance use.
In this training, participants will be taught how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose emergency by administering naloxone, or Narcan— a nasal spray proven to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses.
Lay Rescuer – A lay rescuer is someone who has received training in offering essential first aid and medical care during emergency situations. These individuals are not medical professionals, but they have been educated to identify and address medical emergencies.
This training covers understanding opioids, how opioid overdoses happen, risk factors for opioid overdoses, and how to respond to an opioid overdose emergency with the administration of Naloxone.
This is an in person event
Sign ups are limited to 30 individuals. Please understand by signing up, you are comitting to attending this event. If you are unable to attend, please let me know as soon as possible so someone else may have your slot.

Let it Reign - Substance and Play Virtual and Recorded Class

Fetlife Link – https://fetlife.com/events/1803158
Ticket Link – https://events.humanitix.com/substances-and-play/tickets
Content Warning: Drug use, nuanced and non-consent, medical information/terminology, addiction, harm, and discussions of theoretical violence.
We all hear on repeat, don’t mix substances with play because it is dangerous. This class goes over exactly Why it is dangerous, what the risk profile looks like on common substances, and what ways we can mitigate risk and navigate consent if you do choose to mix the two. This is a safety, information, and risk mitigation oriented class. This class does Not condone or encourage the mixture of intoxication and play but rather evaluates the potential risks and dangers.
In this class we will be going over the following –
★ Why people may mix substances and play
★ Why is it is generally considered high risk to do so
★ A variety of substances and medications, why people do them, and the
major risks associated with them individually pertaining to overlap with kink and consent
★ Risk considerations and approaches if you do intend to mix substances and play
What this will not go over –
★ Nuances of every particular substance
★ Harm reduction training or overdose response
★ Safe substance combinations
★ Demonizing substance users
The presenter does provide links to outside resources that people can learn more about on their own for the subjects that the material is not focused on.
Additionally, everyone who participates in the class (either live or download) will receive a link to a hidden webpage with the information as well as a PDF copy of a zine with the same information to keep with them. The webpage is not available to the general public without the link for this class specifically.

Queer Bodies and Negotiating Intro + Discussion
When you are Queer or Trans, nothing can make you completely lose space in a scene faster than having your gender identity or body engaged with in a way that feels disrespectful or gross, even if you know the person has no bad intentions and is perhaps just misinformed.
This educational focuses heavily on negotiations as a queer person or when playing with queer people, how to talk about consent around bodies, touch, negotiating words being used, and how to help someone feel validated and comfortable within a scene as well as how to proceed if a mistake is made
