Title IX Basics

This course provides an in-depth exploration of key policies, including Title IX, Texas Education Code 51.252 (SB 212), and UT Austin's Prohibition of Sexual Assault, Interpersonal Violence, Stalking, Sexual Harassment, and Sex Discrimination (HOP 3-3031). We will examine how these policies intersect, outline mandatory reporting duties for employees, and discuss intervention and support strategies. Additionally, we will highlight the resources and support available for Title IX-related incidents.

Through scenario-based learning, participants will apply workshop content to real-world situations, enhancing their understanding and practical skills. This workshop can be customized to meet the needs of various audiences, including students, employees, and student employees, upon request.

Trauma Informed Care

Join us for an engaging workshop that highlights the significance of trauma-informed care. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of what trauma-informed care entails, how our bodies respond to trauma, and the best practices for supporting our campus community.

This workshop is available by request for students, including student organizations, faculty, and staff.

The Supportive Measures Workshop

This workshop is designed to equip employees with the knowledge and skills needed to support students who have experienced a Title IX matter or are involved in a Title IX obligation. Participants will delve into the nature and impact of commonly misunderstood acts of prohibited conduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.

We will also cover employees' legal obligations to provide support and accommodations to students, and share best practices for navigating disclosure conversations with empathy and understanding. This educational workshop aims to foster a supportive and informed campus community.

Are We Okay? Tools and Tips for Communicating our Boundaries

This interactive workshop, available by request, is designed for group settings and focuses exclusively on setting and communicating boundaries and expectations. Participants will learn how to recognize others' boundaries, identify barriers to effective communication, and respond to cues, feedback, and conflicts.

Ideal for students, faculty, and staff, this workshop aims to foster a respectful and understanding campus environment.

Title IX and Retaliation

This workshop offers an in-depth exploration of Title IX policies related to retaliation. Participants will receive guidance on how to address alleged acts of retaliation in both workplace and academic settings, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all.

In Her Shoes

This interactive workshop, available by request and ideal for group settings, is designed to educate participants about domestic violence. Through the "In Her Shoes" experience, participants will move, think, and engage with the lives of domestic violence survivors. Each participant receives a card detailing the background and current situation of a character.

As groups navigate different stations, they read through scenarios their character faces with their partner and various systems, making choices about their character’s next steps. This immersive experience encourages communities to rethink domestic violence, evolve their practices to better support survivors, hold those who cause harm accountable, and envision a world where violence and abuse no longer flourish.
