Texts Go Green, Left on Red
Posted on Tuesday, November 21st, 2023
It’s a project we created by our group in our community health practicum in collaboration with AC Project Lighthouse. This project focuses on health promotion, healthy relationships, and sexual violence.
We aim to spread awareness on the topic of sexual violence and support victims of sexual violence. Our goal is to educate students on the potential signs of abuse and work with other healthcare professionals to ensure students can access the available healthcare services.
Based on our research, the majority of AC students can determine what makes a relationship abusive, such as when an individual is being manipulative, they are living in fear and their safety becomes of concern. Moreover, AC students can also identify that establishing good communication is one of the common green flags in a relationship while being overbearing or controlling is one of the red flags.
We have resources available regarding sexual education, STI screenings, birth control options, crisis lines, and sexual counseling (provided by trained individuals who are non-judgemental).
