Let’s Talk About Sexual Assault on Campus

Let’s Talk About Sexual Assault on Campus

The first 15 weeks for school is an exciting time for incoming college freshmen. However, the exposure to so many new experiences can also make it a  very vulnerable time—setting the stage for an increase in sexual assault and stalking on campus.

Parents, caregivers, and mentors play a critical role in preparing their sons or daughters for the experience of going to college. In an effort to facilitate an open dialogue between graduating high school students and their parents about sexual assault, FUTURES created a video that features the voices of young people.

The video highlights FUTURES’ “Who’s Got Your Back” safety card—a pocket-sized resource designed for college-aged men and women. The safety card explores ways to be an advocate on campus, defines consent, and offers strategies for increasing personal safety on campus.
