Going off to college can be a big step. Wellspring talked
with current Skidmore College students to find out what they wish they had
known before arriving on campus, and how they have acted - or did not act -
when they thought someone needed help. From
these interviews, Wellspring formulated a video to give teens the tools those
students wish they had had. Have your teen watch our video to learn more about
how they can contribute to the safety of their upcoming home away from home.
Check out our video together and find out how and why Keshi is giving youth the tools to create social change.
Why social change is important
As a society, we should always be striving to do better; and
as individuals within society, it is our moral obligation to contribute to
making our community healthy and safe for everyone. These efforts include
working to engage others within the community to end relationship and sexual
abuse. Sexual and Gender-Based
Misconduct (SGBM) on college campuses is a nationwide epidemic in the United
States, and efforts to combat these crimes begin long before individuals arrive
on campus. Our goal at Wellspring is to empower young people with the information
and skills necessary to identify and intervene when they witness a potential
SGBM incident.
