Abstract
According to present research and reports, incidents of sexual assaults are increasing across college and university campuses in the United States. Sexual assault prevention and advocacy presents an opportunity for social justice work that could have the power to positively impact the culture of colleges and universities. The current study proposes a cost-effective workshop training for faculty, staff, and students at a Midwestern university to be advocates for sexual assault prevention and supporters of survivors of sexual assault. The program aims to decrease endorsement of rape myths, increase positive attitudes toward bystander intervention, and increase awareness and knowledge.
