Sexual assault prevention is a shared responsibility.
Bystander intervention matters.
Taking survivors seriously matters.
Creating environments where harm is recognized and interrupted matters.
Please sign up for one of our upcoming bystander engagement trainings to make our community safer.
These trainings are brought to you by the 7C Teal Dot Committee & the EmPOWER Center.
