Prevention in Practice
Four steps anyone can take
01
Know the signs
Learn what isolation, pressure, and secrecy can look like in a club or team, even when it is framed as "tradition."
02
Set the standard
Make a culture of respect explicit. Leaders set the tone and members hold each other accountable.
03
Step in early
Speak up before things escalate. A quiet word or a question early can change the outcome.
04
Report it
Use the G Safe app or call. Reporting protects students and keeps the whole community safe.
