At Northwest Missouri State, we’re committed to preventing violence. Green Dot is a violence prevention initiative focused on reducing power-based personal violence (like stalking, sexual assault, and dating violence) by intervening directly, getting someone to step in, or creating a distraction to diffuse the situation.
A Green Dot is any behavior‚ choice‚ word‚ or attitude that sends the message that violence is not okay with you. By doing Green Dots, you help set the norm that violence is unacceptable and everyone is expected to do their part to keep our community safe. It isn't always easy to know how to intervene when you see a potential moment of violence.
Green Dot Certification helps you determine how to intervene in a way that works for you and for the situation.
Looking for a quick and easy way you can do a Green Dot?
Register for this 90 minute Green Dot session to learn the basics of recognizing the signs of power-based personal violence (sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking) and how to be an effective bystander to prevent violence from happening on our campus and in our community. Violence is not tolerated at Northwest Missouri State University and everyone on our campus is expected to do their part. Register today to find your Green Dot.
