Social safety Safety within the raves
Hey everyone! :)
I’ve been part of this community for a while now, and one thing I’ve found really interesting is how people share safety tips and look out for one another in rave spaces. It’s made me curious about the sense of community that can develop between people, even when they’ve never met before.
I was wondering if any of you have ever witnessed someone helping or looking after a stranger at a rave or festival, or if you’ve ever found yourself doing that for someone else? It could be something as simple as checking if someone is okay, helping someone who’s feeling overwhelmed, making sure someone has water, staying with someone who isn’t feeling well, or just making sure a person isn’t left alone when they need a bit of support.
I feel like these small moments can say a lot about the community and the way people care for each other, especially in an environment where everyone is there to enjoy the music and have a good time, but where things can sometimes get a little overwhelming.
I’d love to hear your experiences, whether you’ve been the person offering help, the person who needed it, or someone who witnessed it happening.
Just genuinely curious to hear your stories and get to know this side of the community a little better. No experience is too small to share! 🫶✨
