ACTION promotes safe & positive bystander behaviors. ACTION trains UHV community members to recognize signs of sexual violence, intervene safely, and report signs that they have observed to get help. ACTION goes beyond campus services to help UHV community members connect with off-campus service providers, hotlines, hospitals, legal support and law enforcement. ACTION also helps students prepare to recognize and combat sexual violence in all of its forms in their future careers.
