Prevention Education
- High School
Our goal is for students to understand the importance of respecting
each other by identifying and challenging attitudes, messages
and values that condone, minimize or deny sexually abusive
behaviors.
- Flirting or Sexual Harassment? – This presentation
focuses on defining sexual harassment and identifying what
behaviors are inappropriate. A behavior card exercise is
used, in which students classify different behaviors as
flirting, sexual harassment, or both. The exercise is designed
to open dialogue on this topic. The presentation includes
the procedures to follow if a person is being harassed
at school or work.
- No Excuses – During this presentation,
students view a video with four scenes of harassment in
the school environment. Students are urged to put themselves
in the position of others. School policies and procedures
on sexual harassment and the law, are reviewed. Consequences
to harassers and affects on the victims are discussed.
- Sexual Harassment: Stop It Now – The goal
of this presentation is to define the causes, manifestations,
and solutions to sexual harassment in a way that encourages
teens to develop healthy interpersonal skills. Through the
use of a video and handouts, students will be encouraged
to examine what behaviors are welcome to them and which
are not. The presentation includes the procedures to follow
if you are being harassed.
- The Eye Witness – Students are asked to
imagine they witnessed a sexual assault. Students are then
asked questions about the assault. After the students have
responded, the trainer presents the facts and statistics
on sexual assault, and dispels myths. Sexual assault is
legally defined, and students are taught the meaning of
"consent." Procedures
to follow if a person is a victim are discussed.
- Date Smart – Students will identify positive
and negative characteristics in relationships. Warning signs
of dangerous relationships are given, and statistics on
teen dating violence are reviewed. Students in a group format
play out safe dating strategies and assertive communication.
- Risk Reduction – Opens students’ eyes
to the threat and reality of violence. Specific strategies
are designed for keeping safe at school, on the street,
and on the Internet. This program empowers students to think
about how they act and behave, and then plan in advance
how to stay safe when trouble does strike.
- Media Influence – Students will be asked
to look at the influence of the media from advertising,
music, television, and movies. Students will be encouraged
to voice their opinions on this subject. Several exercises
will be used to facilitate this program.
