Support Group for Victims of Stalking

The Stalking Resource Center from the National Center for Victims of Crime released a resource in 2009 called How to Start and Facilitate a Support Group for Victims of Stalking. The guide describes its purpose as:

…to guide victim service providers, volunteers, and other concerned community members on how to initiate and implement a stalking support group. This handbook provides recommendations on how to locate partners and community support, identify resources, and engage victims who would like to participate in a stalking support group. It offers guidance on how to choose a leader or facilitator, how to prepare the leader, and how to run support group sessions that help members cope with the impact of stalking.

 

Using Healthy Masculinity

In this webinar hosted by Men Can Stop Rape, The “Using Healthy Masculinity to Engage College Age Men” Introductory Webinar, answers four questions: Why healthy masculinity? What is healthy masculinity? How can healthy masculinity help with prevention? And how can colleges and communities normalize healthy masculinity? The section asking “Why?” looks at the relationship between healthy masculinity and primary prevention. Responses to “What?” describe aspects of healthy masculinity.

And in the final section, the Spectrum of Prevention is presented as a way of normalizing healthy masculinity in colleges and communities.

Scoring a Hat Trick: Three Ways to Maximize your Partnership with Athletics

This webinar presented by Green Dot entitled, “In Scoring a Hat Trick: Three Ways to Maximize your Partnerships with Athletics,” presenters Darcie Folsom and CC Curtis of Connecticut College provided concrete suggestions for ways campus grantees can engage student athletes in their violence prevention efforts. Folsom and Curtis focused on three primary strategies: clearing the puck (investigating biases), planning for the power play (branding and relationship building), and the breakaway (making violence prevention the cool thing to do). Some of the concrete solutions offered during the webinar included attending athletic events, planning around athletes’ schedules, using a health promotion lens to engage athletes, identifying and building relationships with key athletic stakeholders, taking materials where athletes spend their time, giving recognition to athletes and coaches, highlighting your athletic partnerships when talking with prospective students, never mandating athletes to participate in prevention activities, and giving athletes tangible skills to keep their teammates from getting hurt or getting in trouble. Folsom and Curtis highlighted many of their successes at Connecticut College and answered questions about challenges, funding, and program assessment.
