Denver's Home for Rope and AErial Art

At Studio Friction, we’re committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and safe community for all. The Incident Response Team (IRT) exists to help members feel heard and supported when challenging situations arise, like consent concerns, harassment, discrimination, and other harmful behavior that falls within our scope. Please check out the reporting form linked below to clarify what is within our scope.

Our Mission:
The IRT’s mission is to be a trusted community resource for consent and harm reduction while providing a safe space for members to share concerns and experiences, whether or not a formal report is made. By addressing issues with care and confidentiality, the IRT will help identify risks, recommend corrective actions, and support the healing and safety of everyone in our community.

The IRT is here to:

• Serve as a resource for consent and harm reduction.

• Provide a safe space for members to share their concerns.

• Review reports and recommend corrective actions to the Board of Directors (BOD) when necessary.

• Help maintain community safety and confidentiality.

While the BOD makes final decisions, the IRT investigates reports and communicates with the BOD. Our role is to listen, support, and prioritize the well-being of the members in our community. We’re here to support personal healing journeys, respect confidentiality, and offer resources like consent education or restorative justice options when helpful.

We’re committed to transparency, maintaining records responsibly, and reviewing our processes regularly to ensure we meet the needs of our community. Whether concerns happen within Studio spaces or elsewhere, we aim to handle every situation with care, respect, and integrity.

If you ever need support or have concerns, please reach out—we’re here to help keep Studio Friction a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
