The Importance of Prevention, Training, and Outreach

Sexual and interpersonal violence are systemic public health problems. The Office of Respect is committed to ending violence against all people by addressing oppression at all levels of the social ecology. In order to address these complex issues, prevention education and outreach must be multi-faceted and collaborative - targeting individual thoughts and beliefs, community and societal standards, and cultural ideals and values.

The Office of Respect has year-round violence prevention programming and trainings available for the Emory community delivered in doses, and designed to identify ways everyone can be part of the solution to ending violence and oppression. Virtual trainings and educational sessions are available during COVID-19.

To get involved with the Office of Respect’s programs and events or to request one of the trainings below or a custom training designed collaboratively with your group or department, please email respect@emory.edu. 

Trauma-Informed Care Training

Trauma-informed Care guidance & education can be modified to meet the needs of the audience. Topics may cover: root causes of violence, intersectionality, neurobiology of trauma, supporting survivors and creating trauma-informed environments. Please email respect@emory.edu to schedule a consulation meeting with Respect staff.

Active Bystander Skills Training

We all have a responsibility to end sexual violence. The first step in playing a part is learning the skills to becoming an active bystander. If YOU want to help prevent sexual assaults from occurring, become ABS trained! Active Bystander Skills (ABS) is a peer-led, interactive training where participants watch videos, discuss ways to prevent sexual violence, and gain the confidence and skills needed to intervene when a violence may occur. To request an ABS training, please email respect@emory.edu
