Sex Assault Awareness Month Programs

Each year, the University of Denver recognizes Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) during the month of April by hosting a number of awareness and education events for the DU community. SAAM is a national campaign to raise awareness about consent and sexual assault. Join us this year as we host a series of events, both virtual and in person, including trauma-informed yoga, a healthy sexual communication workshop, and ongoing education for staff, faculty, and graduate students. We will also recognize Denim Day – an international day to draw attention to sexual violence and show support for survivors. Follow @ThriveatDU on instagram and facebook to stay up to day. Undergraduate students can register for events on Crimson Connect. Graduate students, please email hcc.thrive@du.edu if you are interested in attending!

Pandemic Reflections: Struggle, Adapt, Overcome
In the year since COVID-19 shut down the United States, businesses have closed their doors, students and teachers have created virtual classrooms, employees created home offices, and friends and families were separated for months. While the virus spread rapidly across the country, another crisis was growing alongside it: a mental health crisis. A special episode of the RadioEd podcast explores the ways we’ve struggled, adapted and overcome — whether through adopting crucial telehealth technology, leaning on our four-legged friends or turning to the arts as an outlet.

New Peer-to-Peer Support Group

DU students can attend free and confidential peer to peer support groups biweekly for their mental health and overall well-being. Each session will be led by trained peer facilitators. Due to COVID-19, groups will be virtual until in-person meetings can take place safely.
How to Sign Up:
Register to participate in a biweekly group on CrimsonConnect! Group member commitment to attending each week is important to promote feelings of safety and trust amongst the group members.

'Give Kindness, Take Kindness' : A Semblance of Normalcy

The 'Give Kindness, Take Kindness' wall was initiated by Maggie Tisher, Zainab Alikhan, Shujan Sharafeldeen and Adewe Stovall as a PLP project. The purpose of this wall is to bring back 'random acts of kindness' in the midst of the pandemic. It will give DU students the opportunity to 'take what they need' and 'give what they can' in the form of quotes/motivational words on Post-it notes. The wall is located on the Driscoll Bridge for all students to participate in. We will also be including HCC resources on the wall. We hope to reduce the stigma around reaching out for help while simultaneously humanizing the counselors/staff available.
