Will You Step Up to STOP Sexual Assault?
NewPoint provides the awareness and skills necessary to STOP sexual assault by offering facilitator-led training and mobile applications on sexual assault prevention. We’ve helped military groups, colleges, and universities. We cover legal and policy issues and have a unique skill-building focus on bystander intervention. Online training includes a range of case study video scenarios.
Through a series of clever cartoon animations, we give learners the awareness to understand and practice the skills they need to get consent for sexual activity. These animations cover the nationally recognized 10 key points around consent and can be used in facilitator-led training for students and military personnel.
