S.A.V.E. Programs
Program Descriptions
Gender Mending (Co-ed)
Have you wondered what others think about relationships? Do you have questions you’ve always wanted to ask the opposite gender but never have? Gender mending is a fun, conversation based program aimed at opening the communication lines and establishing a foundation for men and women to discuss sexuality, intimacy and relationships.
“Be Your Own Woman” (Women Only)
Do you want to be able to choose what “Act like a Lady” means to you? Are you tired of gendered stereotypes? Explore how socialization governs your lives and develop a new and improved sense of self. Learn how to feel better about yourself and support other women along the way.
Doing Our Part: What Men Can Do (Men Only)
Do you feel like every program about sexual assault blames men? While 95% of sexual assaults are committed by heterosexual men, MOST men will not commit a sexual assault. The power to stop violence and be an ally to survivors is in your hands. Learn how to positively support survivors.
Bystander Intervention (Co-Ed)
Do you get angry or frustrated when others just stand by without acting? Do you want to be part of the 87% of polled TCNJ students who said they’ll intervene, but wonder how best to address difficult situations? Learn several safe intervention strategies for addressing situations and set personal goals for intervening.
