Join the conversation!

Join one of UD's PAVEs (Peers Advocating for Violence Education) for a 30 minute conversation over various topics such as bystander intervention, IPV, stalking, consent, etc. This program creates a safe environment that will allow students to have a meaningful one on one discussion with a PAVE member on sexual violence and related topics.

Some details participants need to know in advance of participation:

• All PAVE members are mandated to report if you disclose an incidence of power based personal violence, but other information in the conversation will remain confidential.
• In order to receive PATH credit, participants must meet the following requirements:Student must be a sophomore or older
• Student must fully engage in discussion for a minimum of 30 minutes
• Student must complete a post-event reflection form within 48 hours of receipt of form; the link can be found in the calendar invitation that the student receives upon registration.

Expectations/Agreements:

• Both the PAVE member and the participant(s) must be respectful towards each other and acknowledge that the topics talked about are very serious.
• The conversation should not be dominated by one side.
• The job of the PAVE is to create a safe space for the discussion, not lecture the participant.
• The conversations should not be a platform to vent. The focus should be on understanding the topics and sharing ideas. 
• This is not a counseling session. Please call 937-229-3141 if you are interested in scheduling a counseling appointment.
• Respect each other’s opinions on the topics. If there is a disagreement, calmly address it and move on.
• All appointments will be held Monday-Friday between 8:00am and 10:00pm. Be mindful of each other's time. If there is a scheduled time and place for the discussions, both people must communicate to meet and follow through on the agreement.
• Enjoy yourselves and have a meaningful conversation.
