A free 1 hour workshop with Tim Collins of The Script, will be offered for Faculty and Staff on Wednesday, September 9th at 12:30, in the Student Center MPR.
1/2 hour of each of the following will be offered:
A Bystander Empowerment workshop focuses on identifying
challenges to intervening, identifying problematic
situations, and practicing safe and effective ways to act as
an Empowered Bystander.
The Empathetic Responder workshop is an exciting program
that was initially developed for military audiences.
Powerful role-playing exercises put participants in the
midst of "what if" situations concerning people disclosing
an incident of sexual assault. Participants will leave this
workshop with a range of practical and effective ways to
listen, respond, and help survivors identify and locate
services.
