IUP Haven Project welcomes back IUP alumna Adrianna Branin, 2019 Biden Courage Award winner, and assistant director of Trainings for It’s On Us, for a presentation on Intimate Partner Violence Awareness and Prevention.
It’s On Us has grown into the nation’s largest nonprofit program dedicated to college sexual assault prevention and survivor support activating students on hundreds of campuses in awareness and prevention programs.
Through discussion and activities:
- Students will be given the tools to recognize the common signs of an unhealthy relationship
- Understand ways to intervene when they witness intimate partner violence
- Learn how to support a friend who is experiencing violence
Those who attend will be challenged to think of how unhealthy behaviors are romanticized in popular culture through music and film.
Attendance vouchers will be provided upon request.
Statistics:
- An estimated 20–25 percent of undergraduate women are victims/survivors of sexual violence, but 90 percent or more do not report the violence. - It's On Us
-
43 percent of women and 28 percent of men reported having experienced Intimate Partner Violence, and over half of the students reported having these experiences while in college. —Partnership Against Domestic Violence
