why violence prevention matters

The Why

Violence prevention education comes in many forms and can cover an array of different topics. We focus on issues of gender-based violence and use an anti-oppression lens to explore the different ways we can collectively work together to form a compassionate community. Our programming aims to create spaces that are affirming and supportive for victim/survivors and advocates for healing, restorative practices, and growth.

Our cohort of Violence Prevention Peer-Educators, who have undergone 15+ hours of extensive training, facilitate and help coordinate all workshops and programs. Keep a lookout on our website for when we are hiring!

Unpacking Abusive Relationships

“Why don’t you just break up with them?”

A Deep Dive into Healthy Relationships

Relationship workshops are typically only given in the context of romantic couples, but what about your relationships with family? Friends? YOURSELF? We often overlook how to be a good partner to ourselves, and during this workshop, participants will become clearer on their own boundaries and needs, build communication skills, and develop their own tools on how to navigate relationships. 

Workshop platform: Virtual or in-person 

Run time: 60 minutes 

Audience: Students, staff, or faculty 

Reclaiming Consent 

Consent education has often been framed as the missing piece to ending gender-based violence, but what if we told you it wasn’t? Join us for a discussion that will challenge us all to think outside of traditional consent education and examine how we use consent on the daily. 

Workshop platform: Virtual or in-person 

Run time: 60 minutes 

Audience: Students 

Leading with Empathy
