Conversational and straightforward, the Be Strong, Be Wise Master Program answers the question: “How do I help the teens and young adult(s) I care about prevent sexual assault?” 

By the end of the Be Strong, Be Wise Master Program you will know how to: 

• Help teens develop safety-minded behavior when hanging out with friends

• Teach effective communication strategies to prevent boundary violations

• Discover a simple method for discussing drug and alcohol consumption

• Find out how sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia increase someone’s risk of being sexually assaulted

• Help teens navigate peer pressure

• Assist youth in applying these safety tools to their relationships

• Help teens respond to cyber harassment

"To consider sexual assault a pandemic is not hyperbole, it is a statistical fact. It is also one of the most difficult issues to address because of our own discomfort and the default of victim-blaming. Be Strong, Be Wise provides factual, accessible information to equip educators for difficult conversations and risk reduction. As a clinician, I appreciate that Amy Carpenter places 100% responsibility for sexual assault on assailants, while offering empowerment rooted responses and accessible resources for survivors. It is not a matter of "if" you need to talk sexual assault, it is "when," and when you do, you will be grateful for Be Strong, Be Wise.”
