Description:
This handbook focuses on the link between mental and physical health and sexual violence, and the need for a collaborative, cohesive effort to prevent gendered violence on college campuses. It is intended to be used in conjunction with wallet-sized, informational Campus Safety Cards by healthcare practitioners working in college campus health centers, and by student peer health educators and student advocates.
