KU Student-Athlete Primary SV/DV Prevention Program

University of Kansas - Kansas Athletics Inc & Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center (SAPEC)

Kansas Athletics Inc. and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center (SAPEC) at the University of Kansas have established a comprehensive primary prevention program for student-athletes.  Through collaboration, mutual respect, and a shared goal of gender based violence prevention,  KU has established a truly unique endeavor.  This training program includes multiple annual in-person training requirements for all KU Athletics Inc. staff and coaches on gender based violence recognition and response.  In addition to staff and coaches, it also provides multiple required evidence based in-person prevention trainings for all student-athletes.  Alternative trauma-informed sessions for student-athletes who have been impacted by gender based violence are facilitated by confidential campus partners.  Additional specialized trainings are provided as requested by individual teams.  The partnership between Kansas Athletics Inc. and SAPEC has not only produced significant positive assessment outcomes; but also, a new shared Graduate Assistant who specializes in Prevention Education for Student-Athletes.  The evolving partnership has led to the implementation of a four part seminar for academic credit on gender based violence prevention for student-athletes.  This new seminar will launch in the Fall of 2018 and provides progressive education that grows with the student-athlete each year during their time at the institution.  The seminar will replace foundational team trainings in an effort honor the time constrains that student-athletes face during their academic careers.

MEND Training

MEND

Powered by the YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee, MEND works to end violence against women by engaging and educating men. The YWCA has extensive experience treating the symptom, but violence against women is truly a man’s problem that desperately needs a cure.

• Raise awareness about the prevalence of violence against women
• Uncover subtle ways our society reinforces sexist and objectifying biases
• Connect the dots between harmful jokes and actions
• Unpack the difference between healthy and unhealthy masculinity
• Empower attendees with situational examples and strategies to step up and speak out against negative cultural norms

Organizing to End Violence

Old Dominion University & Greet Dot

ODU Women's Center raised some "red flags" as part of the annual Red Flag Campaign, to raise awareness about the prevalence of dating violence on university campuses.

The campaign is a statewide initiative to shed light on relationship violence and includes a series of eight posters that illustrate "red flags" that might appear in a relationship where dating violence is occurring. The posters depict students of different genders, ethnicities and sexual orientations, and also focus on different aspects of dating violence, including emotional abuse, coercion, excessive jealousy, isolation, sexual assault and victim-blaming. The PSA was created as part of this campaign.
