It’s Not Just About Saying “No”; Proactive & Person-Centered Sexual Supports
“I discovered the importance of offering support without judgment or apprehension about sensitive matters. Additionally, I learned to make it a point to guide individuals on appropriate and safe behavior in public settings.”
