Empowered
Mizzou is committed to creating a healthy and safe student environment through a new in-person training program, Empowered. Empowered is a bystander intervention initiative created to promote community connectedness and civic engagement and empower students to get involved in situations where they can prevent, reduce or respond to harm. Empowered works to address multiple interconnected issues, including alcohol and other drug use, interpersonal violence and mental well-being.
Facilitations
We offer programs to expand students’ knowledge surrounding interpersonal conflict and violence. We are often requested as guest lecturers for courses and for student organization meetings. Presentations last less than an hour and cover topics like interactive presentations to understand how to combat rape culture to sharing foundational level information about relationship violence to gaining tips to navigate conversations related to violence prevention.
