Participants learn to address their physical, relational, and mental health needs.
Bystander Intervention
-
Be the One: Take a Stand to End Violence - this bystander intervention training for colleges was developed by the WV FRIS with contributions by WV rape crisis centers’ prevention educators and feedback from additional members of the WV Intercollegiate Council Against Sexual Violence
-
Being harassed or abused, regardless of the why (race, sex, religion, gender, size, orientation, disability, age, origin, etc) is a very traumatic experience. But imagine that it happens while surrounded by lots of others (bystanders) who see what is happening, but then do nothing. The steps of intervening include being able to identify potentially risky behaviors and recognize behaviors that could lead to a high risk situation, identify how you decide whether or not to take action (There is no “right way” to show support to someone being targeted and harassed), identify what options you have to take action, and build necessary skills to feel confident in taking action. The goals of bystander intervention are to reduce harm in the moment and make our presence known to the person who is being harassed or has the potential to be hurt, and ultimately change the behaviors that could cause harm, and also to continue to be a bystander after harmful things occur by following up and working with others to create a culture of respect.
Coaching Boys Into Men & Coaching Leadership, Equity, & Respect (CLEAR)
-
Athletic coaches play an extremely influential and unique role in the lives of young men, often serving as a parent or mentor to the boys they coach. Because of these special relationships, coaches are uniquely poised to positively influence how young men think and behave both on, and off, the field.
-
FUTURES’ Coaching Boys into Men (CBIM) program leverages the power of sports by providing high school athletic coaches with the resources they need to promote respectful behavior among their players and help prevent relationship abuse, harassment, and sexual assault. For more than a decade, the program has been implemented in communities across the U.S. and around the world. From Sacramento and Dallas, to India and South Africa, the program’s messages have proven universal.
-
CLEAR is designed to reach a wide range of individuals, including athletes, coaches, educators, healthcare professionals, and community members. CLEAR has been shown to have a positive impact on reducing violence and promoting healthy relationships

IPV is one of the most common forms of violence against women and includes physical, sexual, financial, and emotional abuse, as well as controlling behaviors by an intimate partner.

Male Survivor Engagement: Sexual violence is often framed as a women’s issue, but while it is true that women are often the victims and men the perpetrators, the issue runs deeper than gender. We know that sexual violence thrives in the darkness – in ignorance. Today we’ll be talking about it in an effort to shed light on the problem and arm ourselves with the knowledge and tools to have conversations about it. We’re going to explore the unique experience men and boys face when they are the victims of sexual violence, how to support survivors, and the ways in which men and boys can be allies in the fight to end sexual violence for everyone.

Stalking
-
Stalking: Stalking is complicated. It is common, it is criminal, it is lethal, and it is preventable. One way we can improve the coordinated community response to stalking is to understand stalking better: To be able to differentiate the misconceptions vs. the reality; To understand how stalking intersects with other crimes and why it’s important to identify stalking - because it is so dangerous, so lethal, such a risk factor for future crime, including murder; To understand the ways stalking impacts someone who is experiencing it, all so we can identify ways we can help and ways that we can all work together to better respond
