These onboarding videos were originally produced when the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) was the funder for Enough is Enough (EiE). As of 2021, EiE is funded under the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV) and therefore anytime you hear references to NYSDOH as funder should be understood to refer to OPDV in the videos in the meantime.

The TTA Center is working on recreating these videos and should be available by February 2024.

College/Students

This webinar is specifically for New York State college students and will provide important information on New York State’s collegiate anti-sexual assault law as well as best practices for building a campus grassroots movement. Participants will learn what their rights are under Education Law 129 B, including the new Student Bill of Rights, the mandated prevention education activities that universities must practice, and the definition of affirmative consent. Additionally, participants will also learn about grassroots activism from two leading activists in the movement, Kamilah Willingham and Wagatwe Wanjuki, co-founders of the ‘Survivors Eradicating Rape Culture’ initiative.

This webinar is geared toward Campus police and security personnel. The goal is to expose officers to the best practices in trauma informed techniques, so that campus police can utilize these tools with their student populations. Participants will learn how trauma affects a victim of sexual assault, support resources, and techniques for centering the victim in your investigations and interviews.

At the conclusion of this webinar, attendees will have heard from a number of advocates on strategies for how to begin a successful collaborative relationship between a college and a rape crisis center, and creative partnerships between a university and a rape crisis program. Attendees will also leave this webinar with exposure to some of the most innovative collegiate anti-sexual assault projects happening across the state.

Participants will leave this webinar equipped with tools for negotiating Memoranda of Understanding, including a roadmap for creating an MOU and details about campus reporting requirements – what schools are required to report, and how you can maintain client-patient confidentiality. This webinar is provided in collaboration with the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault and the New York State Department of Health.

Immigrant and undocumented student populations are often overlooked in prevention programming and lack targeted intervention resources at colleges and universities.

Organized in partnership between the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault, the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and the New York State Department of Health. Join us for a conversation on the role of racial bias in bystander intervention. This webinar will share strategies with participants for how to successfully incorporate conversations about marginalized identities, as well as racial and gender bias in bystander intervention programming. Our presenters will also brainstorm around how best to augment already established educational programming to incorporate information on the role of racial bias in bystander intervention.

This webinar aims to give providers working with campuses some ways to engage online, distance and commuter learners. We will examine the challenges, the successes, and the different insights of what one college went through on their unique approach to connecting to this population. Jason Zelesky from Mount Wachusett Community College (Gardner, MA) will share their insights.

This webinar aims to give providers an understanding of what is an intellectual disability, how to best support students with intellectual disabilities, best forms of communication, and practical resources and skills.

The importance of engaging men in the prevention of domestic and sexual violence is now becoming a much more widely understood idea, yet those doing this work still face challenges and struggles to reach out to and maintain men’s engagement with the issues. This webinar will provide skills and tools for those doing violence prevention work on engaging with men. The webinar will review ways to strategize and communicate messaging, barriers for men in engagement, what true engagement looks like, and successful strategies for engaging men.

Media are central in the lives of young adults, yet the impact of media on sexual and relationship health is often overlooked. From music to social media to pornography, media messages often communicate unhealthy, inaccurate, and incomplete messages about sex and relationships which contributes to negative health outcomes.

One evidence-based strategy to combat the potential negative effects of media and promote young adults’ health is to provide interventions that are grounded in media literacy education (MLE).

MLE aims to enhance critical thinking about media messages related to health behaviors as well as provide medically accurate information about health that is frequently left out of media messages.

As part of this webinar, participants will:

  • Learn how media impact young adults’ sexual health and relationships
  • Review and practice the foundational principles and skills of media literacy education
  • Learn about Media Aware—an evidence-based, online sexual health intervention for young adults that is grounded in MLE

Featuring Guest Speakers:

Christina V. Dodson, Research Scientist at innovation Research & Training (iRT).

Dr. Dodson has worked on the development and evaluation of the Media Aware programs, which use media literacy education (MLE) to promote sexual and relationship health among adolescents and young adults. Dr. Dodson is also Co-Investigator on a project to develop and evaluate Media Aware Parent, a web-based MLE program designed to enhance parent-teen communication about sexual health. Her work has been published in academic journals and presented at national and international conferences. Dr. Dodson also has over twelve years of professional experience in advertising and consumer research.

Reina Evans-Paulson, Research Scientist at innovation Research & Training (iRT).

Dr. Evans-Paulson works at the intersection of social, health, and community psychology.

She conducts this research with a focus on implementation and evaluation of sexual health interventions, parent and family influences on adolescent sexuality, and sexual communication. Dr. Evans-Paulson is currently working as the Project Director on an NIH-funded study to evaluate Media Aware—a media literacy-based sexual health education program—among community college students.
