U Got This!

This engaging, online conversational program will guide you through three 15-20 minute modules, helping you examine attitudes and language that contribute to a cultural tolerance of sexual violence. The training engages you in conversation about bystander intervention, consent, healthy relationships, sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. This program uses a signature tone and humor to create an experience where you converse with the program host on a continual basis. The program’s interactive approach reflects the way you engage with it, and uniquely adjusts to each student.

Binge Thinking

This online fast-paced 35 min course uses interaction and games in a conversational format to encourage reflection and challenges you to probe the ways your emotional responses to facts about consumption impair your ability to enact positive decisions. The structure and approach is driven by research to enhance your protective behavioral strategies.

Binge Thinking’s format is designed to foster multiple opportunities for you to engage in critical thinking exercises without judgment. The program also strategically incorporates humor and scenarios to make messages more relatable. It features various interactive “games” and a multi-path format. Depending on how you answer the questions posed throughout, responses will be tailored to how you identify your motivation to consume alcohol.
