Sexual Assault Facts and Education (S.A.F.E.)
The SAFE Peer Education group is a 6-credit, two-semester internship program in which students are trained to go into their communities and educate others on the topic of rape and sexual assault. Students learn skills to assist them in outreach as well as gaining knowledge on the topics that affect the global issue of sexual assault and rape. "The Date" is the interactive skit (and one of the most requested outreach tools) we use in order to engage students, faculty and staff in a meaningful dialogue about sexual assault. If you are interested in being a part of the internship or having a presentation of "The Date" in your class, organization, or community please contact Sarah Young at 631-632-7320, or sarah.young@stonybrook.edu . And with that - Be SAFE!
