Green Dot at Wesleyan!

by

Lunch & Learn: Student Leader Green Dot Training

November 18th at noon in Usdan 108

The goal of Green Dot is to implement a bystander intervention strategy that prevents and reduces power-based personal violence, including sexual violence. This training teaches you the skills & tools needed to help you be a proactive and reactive bystander. A Green Dot is a behavior, choice, or action that promotes safety for everyone.

Come learn these skills to bring back to your student group and help cultivate our community of care here at Wesleyan.

Lunch will be provided from Chipotle – RSVP is appreciated so we can ensure we have enough food for everyone. You can RSVP here.

Accommodation requests should be made to weswell@wesleyan.edu
