Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Lauren Sogor" <>]

Judy,
I also recommend checking with your local rape crisis center, if you
haven't already done so. In Lancaster, it is Sexual Assault Prevention
and Counseling Center of YWCA of Lancaster. Their phone number is
717-393-1735. Students could attend their volunteer training; it is
usually 40 hours, offered in evenings over the course of 2 months, and
covers all the basic information (and more) that students need.
Alternatively, someone from the center may be able to come to you campus
and offer on-site training for students as well.

We have a 15-year-old student group called SAVE (Sexual Assault and
Violence Education) that operates out of our women's center. They run
several events a year -- Week Without Violence in the fall, Take Back
the Night in the spring, and also sponsor films and speakers. They
operate very informally as a club, and get very little training.

I would like to arrange a  training program for SAVE members to enable
them to be more effective peer educators and also to be able to respond
in an optimum way to other students who disclose being victims of sexual
assault or dating violence. 

Do you have recommendations for consultants or programs that can do this
kind of training? Thanks very much.

Judy

Judy, there are a number of exemplary programs out there.  I would
suggest you check out Mentors in Violence Prevention.  They offer an
excellent training, and also approach it from a coed perspective
(allowing for both single-sex and coed sections for the training). It is
cutting-edge in that they take a bystander intervention approach that is
pro-feminist and very empowering for both men and women.

Also, if you have the funds, think about sending a few of the groups'
leaders to one of the national conferences where student groups gather
to learn from each other.  We have 3 different peer groups, including
One in Four, which has been discussed on this list (which focuses on men
only). One group of peer educators has put together a training that uses
different techniques from a range of sources.  Two graduate students who
have done a good deal of anti-violence work both on and off campus
guided them in structuring their training, and it is quite good.  I'm
sure there are others on this list who also could advise you.

I would recommend the Men's Program book, while this program is for
campus males, the 15 hour training program would help train any group of
peer educators on sexual violence.

The Men's Program

The Men's Program will facilitate an all-male peer rape-prevention
workshop. Among college men in several universities this workshop, which
is adaptable to other settings, has been demonstrated to be highly
effective in reducing negative beliefs and myths undergirding rapists'
attitudes. Every needed procedure for organizing and conducting a rape
prevention program is described in this manual, including: the training
of peer educators and advisors and recruiting men to be peer educators.
