What Students are Saying about the Program…
"I like that it presented the topic in a relevant way. Talking about sex is kind of intimidating, but the more relaxed and relatable approach made it seem less daunting."
"They used very modern ways of conveying the information that kept you engaged."
“I really enjoyed watching the mini dramas and how the characters progressed throughout it. I liked watching them learn from their mistakes and help each other out.”
"...I could see me and my friends in those characters, their attitudes, the way they talked. It was real."
“Honestly, I did think that a way a young woman dresses, rashly drinks and purposely flirts to get guys are responsible and therefore, partially to blame if an assault was to happen. After watching this program I don’t think this way anymore.”
“It dispelled the common misconception that the absence of 'no' means 'yes'. overall it just did a really good job breaking down consent"
