Rape Hurts Foundation – For support of Treatment, Prevention, Care and Education

School Programs: Prevention Education

RTC prevention education programs reach thousands of students each year in middle schools, high schools, and on Uni campuses. Students gain knowledge and skills.

They learn about rape, sexual assault, peer sexual harassment, and other forms of abuse; prevention strategies; options in high-risk situations; ways to safely intervene as “helpful allies” when they are witnesses in situations in which they could help prevent their peers from being sexually abused, assaulted, harassed, or bullied; and how to get help if they or a friend is victimized.

The ARTC also works to create safer schools by educating teachers and school administrators about how to respond to sexual abuse, bullying, sexual harassment, and other forms of sexual violence on their campuses and effective prevention programs and policies.
