For some students, going home for break and the end of the semester does not necessarily mean the end of challenging situations. Support and services for issues related to sexual harassment are still available.

Tonight from 6-7:30 PM in the Student Union Executive Dining Room 377A! This session explores cancel culture and connecting across political lines to help attendees develop skills-based techniques for difficult conversations.

Today is World AIDS Day, an awareness day to educate about HIV, support those living with HIV, and honor those who have passed away. We encourage all Vols to help end the stigma around HIV and get tested for HIV at least once (or regularly if you choose to be sexually active).

Swipe to learn what it means to be an ACTive Bystander & for various resources for survivors of sexual violence. #Movember #NoShaveNovember #Vols2Vols #UTK #CHEW #HealthAndWellness #StudentLife #SexualAssaultPrevention

It is important to point out that the amount of men who have experienced sexual violence is likely greater than what these statistics suggest. This is likely due to survivors either not recognizing they were assaulted or choosing not to discuss or report.

1/3 Content Warning: Sexual Assault & Violence. As part of our focus on men's health this month, we want to talk about men as survivors of sexual violence, as well as how men can be ACTive bystanders to help prevent sexual violence against men & women.
