RESTORE Sexual Assault Services

This is a brief overview of RESTORE’s most popular programs that are offered to both students and employees. This is not an exhaustive list so if you are interested in a program but don’t see it here, please ask. We can also develop programs based on feedback, interests, or specific gaps in knowledge.

Conflict Resolution Workshop

This workshop utilizes roleplays to build foundational skills around conflict management and resolution. We cover conflicts of all types, ranging from roommate issues, to hard conversations with a friend, to healthy conflict in relationships. We recommend this workshop for all students, but particularly freshmen and sophomores who may be struggling with navigating interpersonal relationships in a college setting.

Neurobiology of Trauma

This program takes a concrete, scientific approach to the often-abstract concept of trauma. The majority of the program focuses on the impact trauma has on the physical and chemical components of the brain and how it impacts survivor’s experience during the medical and legal systems in our country. We recommend this program for social work, psychology, nursing, and pre-med majors, as well as student organizations who are interested in spreading awareness and educating their members.

Reality Red Flags

This discussion-based program uses popular dating shows to discuss green, red, and beige flag behavior in dating relationships. We discuss conflict resolution, how to handle a breakup, and healthy vs unhealthy behavior. We recommend this program for all students.

Empowerment and Boundaries

Navigating relationships in college can be tricky, especially because students are coming onto campus with varying degrees of experience. This program focuses on how to set boundaries, how to advocate for oneself, and how to negotiate consent in a relationship. This program is a mix of lecture and skill focused roleplay. We recommend this program for all students, but feel that freshmen and transfer students would benefit greatly.

RESTORE also provide programs that are considered “deeper dives” into specific topics that intersect with sexual violence. These are lecture-style programs that have built in discussion questions and the goal is to provide more in-depth education while sparking a conversation that students can take outside of the program. Again, this is not an exhaustive list and we are always happy to create/tailor programs that fit student interest and needs.
