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

["Fonner, Karla M." <>]

Hi Connie,
 I created something call SNET on our campus. The promo blurb I send out 
sounds something like this: 

Victims of interpersonal violence (IPV) often have a difficult time talking 
about the abuse they have experienced at the hands of someone they trusted. 
Survivors often hesitate to report IPV to authorities, counselors and 
advocates and may instead seek guidance from people they look up to.  The 
purpose of SNet training is to arm individuals who are likely to receive 
reports with the information necessary to help survivors make the best 
choices for their situation.

The idea for this type of network was formulated by Claire Kaplan from the 
University of Virginia Women's Center and is modeled after the SafeZone 
Program, a nationally recognized program to identify "gay friendly" faculty 
and staff who provide support and resources to gay, lesbian and bisexual 
students. We provide a laminated card that looks similar to the SAFE ZONE 
card in size for people who have been through training to put on their office 
doors or cubicles.  

We identified the following learning outcomes: 
Participants will be able to:  
o       define sexual violence, dating violence and stalking 
o       list common victim/perpetrator behaviors.
o       identify appropriate ways to respond to someone who discloses an 
incident of interpersonal violence.
o       identify campus resources available to a student who believes she/he 
has been a victim of interpersonal violence.
o       identify federal reporting requirements for the information received 
by a faculty or staff member.
   
Why the name S.Net?  S.Net - a network of individuals providing Support, 
Safety, Service, Sensitivity to SRU Students or other Staff who are Survivors 
of Sexual violence, partner violence, and Stalking.

I'd be happy to pass along the manual and powerpoint if you think this is 
something that you can adjust to your campus. 

Enjoy your day,
 karla

Subject: Training for Faculty

Hello Colleagues,

I am looking for methods to enhance training and education for our 
faculty and staff at Saint Mary's College. This training would target 
individuals who may witness the impact of violence on students or have 
students disclose experiences to them. However, providing support is not 
a primary responsibility within their positions. I would like the 
training to increase the knowledge base of participants as well as teach 
basic intervention skills.

If you have materials you have found beneficial for your campuses or 
recommendations for programming models, please send them my way.

Thanks in advance!

Peace,
Connie
