CARE offers many different workshops, presentations, and trainings to the UC Davis and UC Davis Health community. Our interactive education programs aim to increase knowledge and awareness of all forms of sexual violence and harassment, and to build skills to prevent these forms of violence and abuse.

Educational programs are available to academic classes, residence halls, registered student organizations, and other groups. Most programs are facilitated by CARE's Prevention Education Interns, who have received extensive training on both content and presentation skills. PEIs utilize discussion, role plays, exercises and activities in their presentations.

CARE educational programs include:

• CARE Services: Learn about CARE's survivor support and educational services, including how to make a referral.
• Preventing Violence as an Upstander: Increase knowledge of what it means to be an active bystander and build skills to intervene safely to stop harmful behavior.
• Healthy Sexual Communication & Consent: Increase knowledge of the definition of consent, including affirmative consent, and build skills for engaging in healthy sexual communication. 
• Building Healthy Relationships Through Boundary Setting: Understand healthy, unhealthy, and abusive behaviors in relationships, and build skills to recognize and safely set boundaries within common relationships. 
• Trauma-Informed Support for Survivors: Understand diverse responses, behaviors, and reactions that may show up for survivors of trauma. Build skills to support survivors through trauma informed communication.
• Dynamics of Intimate Partner Violence & Stalking: Increase knowledge of the dynamics of dating/domestic violence and stalking, learn about the cycle of abuse, explore media representations of stalking and abuse, and build skills to support survivors.  
• Overview of Sexual Assault and Harassment: Define sexual assault and sexual harassment, and build skills to both intervene safely when harm is happening and support survivors when they disclose their experience.
