Engage (Prevention Program)
What is the Engage Multi-Level Violence Prevention Program?
The Engage Program is a comprehensive, research-based approach to violence prevention, designed to address and reduce incidents of relationship abuse and sexual violence within the campus community. It utilizes a multi-level strategy that combines awareness education, bystander intervention training and resources to help individuals recognize and address potentially harmful situations.

The Engage Program offers:
- Awareness and Education Workshops: Participants learn about healthy relationships, consent and recognizing red flags in intimate and social relationships.
- Bystander Intervention Training: Training sessions focus on teaching students how to safely intervene and support peers who may be at risk, with practical tools to recognize and disrupt harmful behaviors.
- Community Engagement Events: Campus-wide events and activities raise awareness about the impact of dating and domestic violence, as well as sexual violence, encouraging everyone to take an active role in preventing violence.
- Support and Resources: Access to the RSVP Center’s confidential support services and connections to local resources such as counseling, legal advocacy and health services.
Why Prevention Matters
- Early Intervention Saves Lives: Education on warning signs and healthy relationship dynamics helps individuals recognize and seek help before violence escalates.
- Empowered Bystanders Create Change: By equipping students with intervention skills, we can build a community where everyone feels responsible for preventing violence.
- A Culture of Respect: The Engage Program promotes respect, empathy and accountability — values that are essential to creating a safer campus.
