Confidantial (contact) person
We want everyone to feel welcome and safe at Harambee. If you have experienced otherwise, we, as an association, want to know about this and support you. Unwanted behaviour can occur in the form of bullying, discrimination, (sexual) intimidation, threats and/or violence. It's also possible to run into other problems that make you feel left out, or like you can't be yourself.
If you have experienced something like this, or you've seen it happen to someone else, we encourage you to speak to one of the guidance counsellors at Harambee. The guidance counsellor will listen to your story, and together, you will decide what to do next. Some things can be resolved within the association, but sometimes it may be best to involve other experts. This will always happen in agreement and with consent from you. The counsellor is independent.
You can always approach one of the guidance counsellors in person, but it is also possible to sent them an email, text, or call them.
