About the Training:
How can you creatively connect students to the issue of sexual violence and motivate them to take action? How can you influence their behaviors? Join us for an interactive expert webinar to discuss these questions with preventionists from Recognize Violence, Change Culture (RVCC)! By exploring promising behavioral science frameworks, we'll provide tools for effective communication, skill-building, and positively shifting students' everyday actions. In addition, we'll share engaging materials, from tabling toolkits to fun workshop games, that you can implement in your diverse campus communities.
MCASA’s Virtual Campus Training Series is a 6-part webinar series, hosted every year from September to April. These training sessions are tailored to college and university staff, as well as community advocates and other service providers, who do sexual assault prevention and response work with college and university students. Facilitated by a combination of MCASA staff and national experts, these workshops explore important and trending topics impacting student sexual assault survivors. You can find past Virtual Campus Training sessions on MCASA's website or YouTube Channel.
