Understanding Consent
Everyone has a right to choose what they want to do sexually. To make sure everyone is on the same page and having a good time during sex, consent is a vital part of our relationships. At this table, students will have the chance to learn about components of consent and put their knowledge to the test with scenarios. We will also discuss victim blaming to change the narrative that sexual assault is the victim’s fault. When speaking with a survivor of a traumatic incident, language is incredibly important, so we aim to educate students on how to avoid victim-blaming language in their personal lives.

Wellness Wednesday: Relationship Red Flags
A relationship is a connection between two or more individuals. Our lives are made up of so many of them – friends, family, acquaintances, and romantic partners! At this table, we will review how to identify the differences between a healthy and an unhealthy relationship. By understanding what factors create a healthy relationship, we hope that students will begin to recognize “red flags” of an unhealthy relationship to help them have fulfilling relationships.
