Gain the skills to provide a compassionate and informed response, fostering a safe environment for those who seek your support.

Overview

As a trusted member of your campus community, there may come a time when a student or colleague turns to you, sharing their experience of sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking. In those crucial moments, it’s essential to be prepared to respond thoughtfully and sensitively, avoiding any actions or words that might inadvertently cause further harm. 

This video course is tailored for faculty and staff who do not have a mandatory obligation to report incidents of sexual harassment to their designated Title IX Coordinator but wish to support those who come forward. You will learn at least seven effective conversational strategies that will empower you to engage in informed and empathetic discussions, while also understanding the potential risks of miscommunication. 

Through real-life scenarios and practical exercises, this course equips you with the skills needed to navigate these sensitive conversations with confidence and compassion, ensuring that you’re ready to provide meaningful support when it matters most. 

Who should attend?

This video course is designed for faculty and staff who want to learn how to engage in supportive and constructive conversations with students or colleagues who wish to disclose an incident of sexual harassment.
