H.E.A.R.T is the newest addition to Caminar’s LGBTQ programs. First of their kind, their approach to intimate partner violence prevention is through inclusive healthy relationship workshops covering such topics like healthy boundary setting, how to talk about consent, and how to give a genuine apology.
