CARE-ing Support: Responding to Disclosures of Interpersonal Violence

Research shows that students are more likely to disclose experiences of interpersonal violence to informal sources, like their peers. This workshop is intended to educate the students about how to respond to peer disclosures of interpersonal violence.

Please note: There are two versions of this workshop for the general student population and peer leaders. Please review the learning objectives below to determine the best fit for your workshop request.

  5. Recall general advocacy services available at CARE for students who have experienced interpersonal violence. 

Learning Objectives for Peer Leaders:

  1. Neurobiology of Trauma
    1. Identify the neurobiology of trauma, including the impact that traumatic experience may have on peers who have experienced interpersonal violence.

    3. Recognize the physical and cognitive impacts that interpersonal violence has on individuals who have directly or indirectly experienced it.

Healthy Relationships 1.0

We often hear about toxic relationships and red flags, but how can we identify traits of unhealthy relationships in our lives if we don't know what healthy love looks like?
