A woman of any age can become the victim of sexual assault, however statistics indicate that women between the ages of 16 and 20 years-old are four times more likely to be victimized. A woman entering her first year of college – specifically, between September and Thanksgiving break – is at the most vulnerable time in her life.

In Steve’s general sexual assault prevention program (perfect for new student orientation or general sexual assault prevention education), he helps arms college students (men and women) with the knowledge, skills and tools to prevent them from becoming a crime statistic. Through a means of awareness, avoidance and escape, Steve helps students understand the mind of a predator and helps them understand the difference between a “hard target” and a “soft target.”

It’s not just the women.  Almost three million American men (about 3%) are victims of sexual assault.

Steve also discusses the critical effect of alcohol and other drugs (including party drugs) on the risk of sexual assault. He also discusses: setting up a safe residence hall room or apartment, dealing with stalkers, dating and domestic violence, and how to get yourself safe in the event of a campus violence incident.

As part of the his visit, Steve is available to conduct a hands-on self-defense training for women only, called “Fight Like a Girl.”  This add-on program can be conducted immediately following the main “Reduce the Odds” lecture program, at no additional cost.  This option requires some additional set-up considerations.  Please speak to your CAMPUSPEAK salesperson to discuss the requirements if you choose this option.
