CU Rape and Gender Education Program | Wardenburg Health Center

COURAGE peer educators provide a variety of interactive educational presentations for the CU community. On request, these presentations can be tailored by topic, format, and length to suit the needs of a particular group. COURAGE educates about complex and difficult issues, although we are focused on teaching people skills for positive behavior. Some examples of presentation topics:

bystander intervention and ally development skill building
how racism, sexism, and homophobia intersect with sexual violence
consent: what is it, why is it important, and how you ask for it
specific information about sexual violence
gender roles: how our gender socialization forces men and women into specific boxes
specific information about dating violence
. . . we can also work with you to design a presentation that fits your needs!

We provide resources and offer referrals to other organizations during and after presentations.

"I appreciated having COURAGE as a guest speaker recently... They spoke to 68 undergraduates about rape myths as they relate to gender norms and gender expectations -- an increasingly important conversation to be had on the college campus. They were articulate, poised, and prepared to answer questions and tackle this tough topic. Brava to COURAGE for providing this resource for CU students, faculty, and staff."
