Empowering Change Through Education

Education is a cornerstone of CARE’s mission.
Our programs empower community members of all ages to prevent sexual violence and support victim-survivors. CARE delivers these presentations with a trauma-informed approach, recognizing that some participants may have personal experiences with sexual violence.
Please contact our Outreach Educator, Lily Stonecipher, to schedule a presentation.

Sexual Violence Prevention on Campus

Living on a college campus instantly changes one’s perception of a safe space. Healthy relationships and safe boundaries learned as a child are now impactful as a newly independent adult. Looking honestly at the statistics of sexual violence on college campuses and how to decrease one’s risk are offered year-round. A second workshop is suggested to provide a more robust, in-depth understanding of sexual violence.

Topics Include

  • Dating, intimate partner, and domestic violence
  • Sexual assault, sexual harassment, and rape
  • Digital, emotional, and physical abuse
  • Coercion vs. consent
  • Active bystanders, advocates, and how to support victim-survivors
  • Body responses to trauma
  • Options after sexual assault
