Consent @ KU

This interactive program helps participants develop the skills needed to communicate and understand consent. Participants will learn about healthy intimate and sexual engagement as well as the importance of respecting the personal boundaries of others. 

Sex, Drugs, and Alcohol

This presentation explores the relationship between drugs, alcohol, and sex. Participants will learn about the impacts of drugs and alcohol on an individual’s capacity to consent. 

#RelationshipGoals

Building the skills to show love and be loved is a critical element for future healthy relationships. Participants will gain the tools needed to identify different healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors. 

Sexual Violence Recognition and Response

In this foundational training, participants will break down the definition of sexual violence and learn how to recognize and respond to different forms of sexual violence. The program will also provide participants with an understanding of policies and procedures in place to respond to sexual violence on and off campus. 

Jayhawks Give a Flock

Jayhawks Give a Flock is KU's bystander intervention program. All incoming KU students attend Jayhawks Give a Flock during Hawk Week. Participants will gain the knowledge and skills to act when they see behaviors that put others at risk for sexual assault. 

Read The Room

Read the Room is a conversation on Environmental and Situational Prevention (ESP) that provides tools for violence prevention on campus. This immersive experience includes a classroom presentation addressing the importance of environmental design that can deter negative behavior, including sexual assault. A CPTED-certified team will be assigned to the participants and a site visit will be completed to show participants characteristics about their physical space that increase safety for guests and characteristics of the physical space that may increase harmful behavior. Guides containing site recommendations will be included, building participants' skills to create safe environments for peers.

The Art of Rejection 

Rejection is scary and yet- whether if it is for a job, a scholarship opportunity, or a relationship- we all experience it at some point. The Art of Rejection training invites participants to explore feelings and responses to rejection, how to accept rejection safely, and develop strategies to reject others in a healthy way.

Leading the Flock

Here at KU we are building a consent culture that includes EVERYONE. “Leading The Flock” is our bystander intervention training for all employees that complements our undergraduate training for students, “Jayhawks Give A Flock”. Faculty and staff will learn about recognizing sexual misconduct, navigating barriers to intervention, and develop safer intervention strategies. Leading The Flock is an engaging and dynamic conversation that will not only help you protect our community, but also help you to build YOUR flock here at KU.

Trauma Informed Response for Professionals

Trauma is a part of all our lives in one form or another and can manifest in a variety of ways. This training will address the neurobiological contributors and external manifestations of trauma and provide participants with communication tools for working with those who have had traumatic experiences. This session addresses trauma broadly and is not limited to trauma associated with sexual violence. 

But We Are Like A Family Here 

As professionals we spend thousands of hours establishing ourselves and perfecting our tangible skills; however, when it comes to supervision, we often just wing it. This training addresses the pervasive issue of toxic supervision in the workplace that do not support a culture of consent. It will provide attendees with evidence-based strategies to recognize, mitigate, and ultimately replace harmful supervisory behaviors with positive leadership practices. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the generational impacts of failed supervision on individuals and organizations, along with practical tools for fostering healthier environments that support employee retention.
