What We Do

We deliver comprehensive multi-level initiatives related to violence prevention, anti-hazing, mental health and well-being, alcohol & other drugs, and sexual health.
We center our prevention work using inclusive, proactive, upstream approaches that activate and increase numbers of students, staff, faculty and community members to flourish and thrive.
We work to promote and communicate healthy behavior change through building rich relationships, centering student voices and experiences, and de-stigmatizing help-seeking behaviors.
