What is consent? A community-based effort to end sexual violence is impossible without a general understanding of sexual violence and consent. This interactive workshop provides participants with an introduction to sexual violence by establishing a clear and accessible definition of consent, discussing how sexual violence shows up in our communities, and introducing an age-appropriate understanding of trauma and common responses to trauma following sexual violence.

Often paired with SV(C) 101, this workshop provides participants with the information and tools they need to respond to disclosures of sexual violence, including connecting victim/survivors to appropriate services and empowering victim/survivors to heal in ways that make sense for them.

What makes a friendship or a dating relationship positive and worthwhile? During this interactive presentation, participants identify characteristics of healthy, unhealthy, and abusive relationships, and discuss ways to advocate for themselves and support peers who may be in an unsafe relationship.

We cover important topics like consent, sexual violence, rape culture, trauma responses, and bystander intervention. Plus, you’ll get to practice what you’ve learned through interactive scenarios that match your role.
