Online Prevention Training
ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø is proud to have earned the Campus Prevention Network (CPN) Seal of Prevention for best-in-class prevention and wellness programming. The seal reflects ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø's commitment toÌýmaking a measurable impact across critical areas including sexual assault,Ìýalcohol and drug misuse, and mental health. Only ~10% of colleges andÌýuniversities in the country achieved this recognition. At ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø, we consider this investment in prevention central toÌýour mission and preparing you for success on campus and beyond.
As such, Bearcats are invited to join ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø’s conversation on making responsible choices as an adult and member of our community by completing the following online training programs:
- AlcoholEdu
- Sexual Assault Prevention
- Mental Well-Being
- Hazing Prevention
The courses are fun, engaging, and speak to a broad range of experiences. In completing the trainings, you will have the opportunity to solve real life problems; expand your knowledge of consent, alcohol, mental wellness, and bystander intervention; and learn about ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø's policies and resources.Ìý
Any students who want to join a registered student organization will need to complete all four trainings before joining.
Content Warning
For many people, reading about heavy topics can stir up personal memories and strong emotions. People without experiences of trauma, violence, or discrimination can also be affected by these issues for a variety of reasons. In order to mitigate the impact of these discussions on people who are adversely impacted by these issues, we use content warnings, just so everyone can get a heads up about what's to come. That way, no one is caught off-guard and we can all prepare ourselves to fully participate.
A content warning does not mean that we want you to avoid taking the trainings. On the contrary, we want to make sure everyone completing the course has what they need to engage to the best of their ability without having to come out as a survivor in order to do so. We believe the onus to give you a heads up and the opportunity to prepare yourself is on us.
Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduate/Graduate Students prominently features open and frank discussions of the following potentially triggering or upsetting content:
- stalking

AlcoholEdu also prominently features open and frank discussions of the following potentially triggering or upsetting content:

There are also a number of specific content warnings embedded in the course before discussions of particularly sensitive material. You will be able to skip some of these parts of the training.
We understand that these issues can have a strong impact on a lot of different people. For that reason, you have the option to change how you will participate if you anticipate being unable to engage with this course as is. Students who are not able or comfortable completing the Sexual Assault Prevention training can meet with Women Helping Women's on-campus advocates, who are a confidential resource. Please request an alternative training.

Why It's Important
AlcoholEdu, Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduate/Graduate Students,ÌýMental Well-Being, and Hazing PreventionÌýintroduce you toÌý important issues such as sexual violence, identity and expression, campus safety, mental health, suicide prevention, and alcohol and drug use. ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø is committed to supporting students like you in becoming the best and brightest learners and professionals. In order to accomplish that, we want to ensure that you are a part of this dialogue so you are prepared to continue the conversations that start in the trainingsÌýin your professional and personal lives.
ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø also values a campus culture of safety and responsibility. By completing this program, you will gain the skills, language, and tools you need to ensure you and your peers have the best experience you possibly can. What you learn goes beyond campus as well. These courses will teach you skills that matter to students from all walks of life.
ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø is proud of its growing population of non-traditional Bearcats, and we believe it's important for students of every background to complete the programs. Discrimination, harassment, violence, mental wellness, and alcohol/other drugs affect us all, regardless of age, gender, and any other identity. In addition, anyone taking classes at ÃÀ¸ß÷¹ÙÍø is protected under Title IX, so even if you're well-versed in discussions of sex and gender equity, it's still important for you to know your rights as a member of our community. For these reasons, the course is required for all non-traditional and distance learning students.
