CONTENT ADVISORY

At Raphael House, we believe that survivors are the experts and we're guided by their voices, experiences, and perspective.

While the evening's program is filled with inspiring stories of resilience, we recognize that hearing survivors share about their journeys can sometimes be hard to hear, especially for those who have been impacted by domestic violence. 

We have incorporated a number of ways to support guests in these moments during the event, including offering a separate and quiet space for use at anytime, as well as providing trigger warnings throughout our programming to prepare guests in advance.

ACCESSIBILITY

The Hyatt Regency Portland is fully ADA compliant, with easily accessible elevators and escalators. We will have large print event programs for anyone who asks, earplugs available, and videos will all feature closed captioning. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan meal options are available and we will work with Hyatt Regency to accommodate guest allergies to the best of our ability. 

If you have any questions or accommodation needs, please don't hesitate to contact Amanda Ives at aives@raphaelhouse.com or (971) 808-9644.
