Got Consent? is a 60 minute program that addresses the most common misconceptions regarding sexual assaults/rapes. The discussion is focused on debunking common myths while clearly explaining the issue of consent, including the "Four Universal Truths of Consent." Participants learn the legal definition of rape in Kentucky and its correlation between drug and alcohol consumption. Finally, participants are given resources on what to do if they or someone they know were to be sexually assaulted, including access to 24-hour services such as our Crisis Line at 1-800-656-HOPE.

 

 

Risk Reduction

 

Rape affects all ages, races, socioeconomic levels, and gender. A study conducted by the National Center for Victims of Crime in 2004 found that one rape/sexual assault occurs every two minutes in the United States. Actively reduce your risk of becoming a victim by practicing basic safety. In this 60 minute program participants learn important risk-reduction techniques that they can employ at home, in public, or while in a vehicle. Techniques include learning to establish sexual limits and to communicate those limits.
