Green Dot is a bystander intervention program that believes this generation can eradicate violence on college campuses. Power-based personal violence is any kind of violence which asserts power and control over another, including sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking and harassment. The program:
A Green Dot is a single moment in time when someone makes the choice to use their words, actions, or behaviors to make our campus and community safe.
Bystander training focuses on creating a college culture that is intolerant of violence. Through the one-time training session, students, faculty and staff learn how to be a part of the change.
Bystander training helps participants recognize Red Dots ? stalking, dating violence and sexual assault ? and be empowered to take a stand.
