Peer educators, both women and men, suggest resources and information to help students build intimate relationships based on respect and trust. They also offer students strategies for identifying, avoiding, and leaving abusive relationships. By focusing on the real problem of violence against women while at the same time acknowledging the potential for abuse by anyone, the program offers City College students an honest treatment of a serious problem confronting all of us. They approach the subject in a non-threatening, hopeful manner.
Audiences are always receptive and often enthusiastic.
