Workshops
This workshop was rolled out May 2021 (Sexual Assault Awareness Month), but is available for scheduling year-round!
Cyber sexual abuse, commonly known as “revenge porn,” is often misnamed and misunderstood. This name misrepresents the crime for several reasons. First, it is not about revenge, and second, it is not about porn. Revenge suggests the victim did something to deserve this crime, in effect placing blame on the victim. Less a tool for prevents, cyber sexual abuse is more often used to maintain control over the victim. Porn, though this may not always be the case, is generally considered consensual. Photos and videos that are shared are sometimes taken unbeknownst to the victim or are photoshopped or “spoofed” (manipulated using photo editing software of other technology). Even if the photos are taken consensually, i.e. within the context of an intimate partnership, posting those photos online (or sharing them digitally) without the consent (and often without the knowledge) of the victim, is a nonconsensual act. For these reasons, we must call this crime what it is: cyber sexual abuse.

U Got This! Bystander Intervention Training
The U Got This! bystander intervention online training is available to all UNM students. While it is a voluntary program, we believe that all UNM students would benefit from this training and encourage all that are interested to complete it. We are offering a discussion-based lesson plan for those staff or faculty that would like to include this training in their course or presented to their student employees or student groups. Individual students are also welcome to access the training and engage in a one-on-one facilitation with the grant's Project Coordinator. Please reach out to ccrt@unm.edu with any requests for access to the program.
IT'S A DIALOGUE, NOT AN INFO-DUMP
U Got This! redefines how students engage with bystander online training. We’ve partnered with Jellyvision, the online software development company best known for creating the You Don’t Know Jack games, and infused our signature tone and humor with their technology. The program’s Interactive Conversation software responds to the way the user engages with it. If a user gives a snarky answer to a question posed, they’ll get a snappy response.
CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION
How can we help create a safer, more supportive campus community within a large, spread-out population? By meeting your students where they are. U Got This! is delivered through three 10-20 minute online training modules and is accessible on desktop, laptop, and mobile devices. Engaging with our short, dynamic training modules at different intervals over a period of time will help to optimize learning retention and encourage your students to incorporate intervention values into their day-to-day lives.
