Faculty and staff have an opportunity to develop their knowledge of resources available to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence in the new Harbor training session available through the Women’s Resource Center.

 The purpose of Harbor is to create safe places all over campus where victims of sexual assault and domestic violence can go to receive assistance.  Through the training, faculty and staff will gain insight and sensitivity to the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault. Further, participants will be made aware of the resources available to victims so they can pass this information along to all who need it.

 Harbor trainings last about 90 minutes and can be incorporated into a single staff meeting or broken into components to accommodate participant schedules.  Those who complete the program will be given an identifying placard to display in their office, as well as a certificate of completion.

 Harbor is a program of the Campus Violence Task Force, made up of representatives from the UA Police, Athletics, Judicial Affairs, Black Faculty Staff Association and more. For more information or to schedule a Harbor training, call (205) 348-5040 or send an email to wrc@sa.ua.edu.
