Staff and faculty are often interfacing with students who have experienced violence and trauma, and this workshop provides necessary information about the best ways we can support our students while maintaining your mandatory reporting obligations. Project Safe Center staff provide tips and strategies in a facilitated dialogue for those interested in learning how to better support those who have experienced intimate partner violence. Learn what appropriate and constructive support looks like in the immediate aftermath of an incident, in the weeks following an assault, and over time.

The Green Dot bystander intervention curriculum is a comprehensive approach to violence prevention that capitalizes on the power of peer and cultural influence across all levels of the socio-ecological model. Informed by social change theory, the model targets all community members as potential bystanders, and seeks to engage them, through awareness, education, and skills-practice, in proactive behaviors that establish intolerance of violence as the norm, as well as reactive interventions in high-risk situations – resulting in the ultimate reduction of violence.
