Among the people I saw there was Kate Robinson, the Program Director of Safe Passage, whose advice I asked about where to take the material I had in my bag. She was interested in the Trauma Prevention & Recovery certificate program and said that maybe there was a way that could be linked with the Safe Passage program.

I had made a list of the flyers I was taking around, and she was amazed at how many offerings there are at CCSF. (My list, of course, didn't have them all!)
As for the rest of the material, she suggested the safe haven place across the street--a community housing partnership--as well as similar places at 211 Jones and 201 Turk, so after talking to a few people and hearing the speeches, I took more material around. At 835 O'Farrell I was able to put things up myself (and the nice person-in-charge, who was leaving the 3CPE gathering when I was, also gave me a tour of the building, where the north side looks out at the park. But at 201 Turk, I was told to just leave the flyers so they could put them up when there was room, and at 111 Jones I was told that the social worker had to approve everything before it went up.
