By providing room to discuss this often misunderstood and ignored issue, this three-session workshop urges students to challenge commonly held beliefs about sexual assault and sexual harassment. Students learn about the factors that allow this issue to persist in our culture, and what they can do to change those attitudes. Students discover how common sexual assault is but will leave empowered with the skills to support those around them who have been affected.
