To encourage change within the Industry around Model Safety.

How are the Mid-Atlantic Model Safety Network resources different?

Whisper networks, private blacklist resources & closed Models Safety forums are often a model's only resource for identifying & reporting problematic or predatory individuals within their industry. 

Models Safety resources are often hidden, based on word of mouth & tend not to advertise publicly to prevent being targeted.

Though we will always champion & support these types of resources, we wanted to create prevention based educational resources & content to help models, that are free, accessible, utilize up to date techniques & real world examples of the dangers that models face in order to bring awareness to, advocate for & educate models.

How do we inspire industry change?

The Mid-Atlantic Model Safety Network believes that when inappropriate, predatory & abusive behaviors are identified, challenged & no longer tolerated, we will encourage significant & measurable change around model safety. 

When Models stand together, advocate for their safety, & demand better from their industry peers, we can inspire change & accountability in this industry.
