Green Dot Training

Nobody can do everything, but everyone has to do something...

Green Dot is built on the premise that in order to measurably reduce the perpetration of power-based personal violence, including sexual violence, partner violence, or stalking, a cultural shift is necessary. In order to create a cultural shift, a critical mass of people will need to engage in a new behavior or set of behaviors that will make violence less sustainable within any given community. The “new behavior” is a green dot.

This extremely interactive session is great for you and your friends to:

Understand the impact of power-based personal violence on campus and in various communities

Learn how to identify power-based personal violence and respond within the bounds of your strengths and limitations

Practice newly developed skills to be prepared for enacting this in your daily life

Meet new people and strengthen your connection to UMBC
