Thursday, Sept. 21
Responding to Disclosures of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence
1:30–3:30 p.m. | Life Design Hub, MSC 171
A positive first response to disclosures of sexual and gender-based violence can have a powerful impact on the person disclosing. Learn all about providing a supportive response during Consent Awareness Week! In this workshop, participants will learn the three components of a positive first response, become aware of different community and campus resources, and be able to practice responding to disclosures of sexual and gender-based violence.
