Prevention Programming

Lewis & Clark offers multiple ways for students, faculty, and staff to engage with violence prevention on our campus

Lead the Change!

• Lead the Change: Bystander Intervention is a workshop designed to give participants the skills necessary to recognize signs of sexual and interpersonal violence and safely intervene. Workshops are 1.5-3 hours long and tailored to your group - whether that’s students, faculty members, or administrative staff. Together we have the opportunity to make Lewis & Clark a safer place for all.
• To schedule a Lead the Change! workshop or event for your student organization, team, club, or residence hall, email Emily Mattson (emilymattson@lclark.edu). Open registration for Fall 2021 is here.
  
• To attend a Lead the Change! workshop or event for faculty/staff keep an eye on The Source, or email Emily Mattson (emilymattson@lclark.edu) to schedule a training for your department or office.
  

Dynamics of Violence

• Dynamics of Violence trainings are focused on defining sexual and interpersonal violence, examining the dynamics of power and control, and dispelling myths and misconceptions about campus violence. Trainings are 1.5-2 hours long and can be tailored to your group, although the primary focus is staff and faculty. 
• Faculty and staff who work directly with students are highly encouraged to attend one of the workshops. Participants will leave with an understanding of their role as a responsible employee and resources for supporting students.
