Together We Will End Violence PSA

Local youth stand up against violence by starring in an anti-violence PSA created by RVAP. Please click here to watch the video. It will also run on City Channel 4, PATV and ICCSD.

Stand Up, Don't Stand By

These posters are part of RVAP's Stand Up, Don't Stand By campaign aimed at raising awareness about violence and potentially harmful behaviors among middle school and high school students.

What it’s Like: Sexual Assault Advocacy

What it’s Like: Sexual Assault Advocacy is an exercise designed to allow participants to experience the complex emotions and issues that victim/survivors of sexual violence on campus face during their healing process. Sexual assault is an attack on body, mind, and spirit. Often your spirit is wounded even more profoundly than your body. When those wounds are not visible, it can be hard to understand why they are still painful. Participants will follow a character through different stations and stages of the healing process. Each participant will make choices for his or her character.

What it’s Like: Sexual Assault Advocacy was created with kind permission from the Houston Area Women’s Center. Their program, Walking the Walk: A Sexual Violence Awareness Exercise has been a wonderful resource allowing people to become familiar with the complexities that victim/survivors face.
