ANNOUNCES  AN UPCOMING WEBINAR 

FRIDAY,  APRIL 27TH, 2007 
1:00PM  TO 3:00PM Eastern Daylight Time 

FACILITATION  TRAINING FOR PEER EDUCATORS: 
HOW TO ANSWER  THE TOUGH QUESTIONS STUDENTS HAVE ABOUT SEXUAL  ASSAULT 

Presented  by: 
Brett A.  Sokolow, J.D., and Gail Stern, M.Ed 
NCHERM is a leader in  providing you with webinars that are relevant, timely 
and full of useful  practice tips.   
Peer education is a  powerful tool for prevention and risk reduction.  Many 
campuses use peer education to  great effect.  Peer education is  most 
effective when the training provided to peer educators is of high  quality.  
Two of 
the toughest skills  for peer educators to master are the art of facilitating 
dialogue, and how to  answer student questions creatively and accurately.  
Nowhere is this more important than in  peer-to-peer discussion of sexual 
assault.  
This webinar will provide you with two hours of training from two of the  
most skilled facilitators addressing sexual assault on college campuses.  
They 
have faced the toughest questions  students have, and have learned what 
answers 
provide the best educational  impact.  They have faced tough  facilitations, 
heckling, disinterested students and defensive students.  There are expert at 
creating connections  with audiences, and opening men and women to dialogue 
on 
sensitive issues.  In this webinar, they will share their  strategies for 
success with you.   
Some of the tough  student questions this webinar will address are: 
·        Is sexual assault an  issue that I should be interested in? 
·        Why are men defensive  about discussions of sexual assault? 
·        How do you address  men’s fear of false accusations? 
·        How do you address  women’s adherence to rape myths? 
·        Isn’t date rape really  just a regretted sex? 
·        How drunk is too drunk  to consent? 
·        What if both parties  to a sexual act are drunk?  Who has  
responsibility? 
·        What does it mean if  someone invites me to their room? 
·        Does how someone is  dressed send messages about their sexual 
intentions? 
·        Is foreplay a good  thing or a bad thing? 
·        Isn’t it artificial to  have to talk about sex with your partner? 
·        Can men be  victims? 
·        Isn’t seducing someone  a good thing? 
·        Does someone who is  the object of sexual attention have an 
obligation to resist advances that they  don’t want? 
·        If someone has limits,  isn’t it their job to tell you what those 
are? 
·        How can a college  student be a sexual predator? 
Join us for this event  and get an update on these crucial issues and more.  
Pose your own questions to the  presenters throughout the event.  A  
PowerPoint presentation prepared by the presenters will be provided to all  
registrants. 
HOW A WEBINAR  WORKS 
Webinars are cost-effective  because everything you need is already in your 
office -- a telephone and a  computer.  Webinars are large-group  conference 
calls where you can follow along online with our PowerPoint.  You can even 
project the PowerPoint via  an LCD projector for group participation by your 
staff. 
 Each registrant can call in from one  telephone line on campus, so you might 
arrange to use a phone in a conference  room, where your staff and 
administrators can listen and participate via  speakerphone.  You can also 
purchase  
additional lines for multiple campus call-in locations for a moderate  
surcharge. 
 You will receive a  call-in 800 number and a PIN for the day of the event.  
Once you join the call, you will be able  to hear the presenters and ask 
questions via phone, while viewing the Power  Point online.
