Let’s Talk About It
Sexual Assault Prevention for Middle School Students
Let’s Talk About It is a dynamic, multi-day workshop—offered in three or five one-hour sessions—designed to equip youth with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to prevent sexual violence and build healthy relationships.
Through interactive activities, students explore what makes relationships heathy and respectful, how to set and respect boundaries, and how to recognize and respond to sexual harassment. Participants also examine the role of media, gender norms, and cultural messages in shaping behaviors—and practice real-life strategies to safely intervene as active bystanders.
Students will learn to:
- Recognize healthy vs. unhealthy relationship dynamics
- Define and practice consent
- Identify sexual harassment, coercion, and assault
- Challenge harmful gender norms and media messages
- Build empathy for survivors and support peers
- Use effective bystander intervention strategies
- Access trusted adults and local resources
This program helps young people apply key prevention concepts in real-life scenarios—equipping them to be allies, leaders, and change-makers in their schools and communities.
Perfect For middle school-aged students.
