KCNH is a gender, sexuality and relationship diversity (GSRD) convention, with emphasis on kink, bdsm and relationship education. It's an excellent "intro" convention for professionals seeking to become culturally competent with GSR diversity, with a "light dungeon," and high-quality, safety education. In other words, to volunteer you do not need to be a "kinky expert." At KCNH, IRT's mission includes welcoming professionals to the convention at no-cost any day they serve. This provides education on healthy GSRD for local professionals. It also connects GSRD minorities to safe professional resources for clinical and other services in their day-to-day lives.
IRT provides crisis-management, mental health triage, varied consultation and globally works to keep the convention a positive space. Basically, if things happen, IRT gets a call. Most Team Members hold a state license of some kind or are enrolled in pre-licensure education. For a run-down on the skill sets of KCNH IRT, general requirements, and more information see the volunteer application form.
At KCNH Incident Response Team Members are supervised by a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor on-call 24/7 and work in teams of at least 2 per shift. IRT is well-supported by, and collaborates with, a board of directors, as well as security, physical health and dungeon monitor teams.
IRT services are provided for the duration of the 3-day convention and do not constitute any agreement for ongoing care of any kind.
"Kinky Counselor"
Sarah is an LGBTQIA, Gender-Transition, and Kink/Poly/BDSM-Informed Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.
More about Sarah
Gender, attraction, sexual expression and values of love don't need to be WHAT you want to work ON, (I mean, we can do that too if you want) but no matter what you want to work on, you know Sarah understands a spectrum of experiences and you can share freely, or ask for help, without judgement. "Kinky Counselor" is simply the cheeky name Sarah goes by in GSRD spaces, where nicknames are common. It's one way Sarah chooses to be "out" as a GSR minority.
Depending on your specific need, if you are seeking sex-therapy (NOT sexual surrogacy - which Sarah does not practice), Sarah may be able to provide your treatment, or an excellent referral to an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, licensed in your state.
See Sarah's listing on Kink Aware Professionals organization website for more information about kink-aware services at this office. www.kapprofessionals.org/business-directory-3/sarah-v-revels-lcmhc/
Human sexuality is a topic Sarah has taught at the graduate level in-person and online, consulted for other professionals around, and presented on as continuing education workshops for years.
For more information regarding inviting Sarah to lecture or present for your academic, professional or personal institution or convention, please email Sarah@SarahRevelsCounseling.com
