Confidential Contact Persons M.F.L.S.
Something on your mind? Bo & Emilio are here for you.
At M.F.L.S., we want everyone to feel welcome and at home. Still, you may experience behavior that feels uncomfortable and/or simply isn’t okay. Whether it’s (sexual) harassment, bullying, aggression, exclusion, or discrimination: your boundaries matter and no one gets to cross them.
Situations like these can have a big impact. They can cause stress, affect your sleep, or make you feel unsafe within the association. You don’t have to carry it alone.
