Sexual Assault Awareness Bulletin Board and Community Builder
Description: This bulletin board was created based on information received from Plymouth State University's Wellness Center. The Wellness Center received a pamphlet titled, "One Week: A Snapshot of Sexual Assault in New Hampshire" This bulletin board is informational and is very eye-opening. Accompanying this bulletin board is a quiz that can be used as a tool to help get the information to the students. The quiz can be passed out a floor meeting and residents can fill out the quiz. A social can happen after a few weeks where students could come with their completed quizzes and receive food and prizes.
Instructions: I designed this bulletin board based on a "Good Vibrations: Healthy Relationships" theme. I wanted to put a spin on my bulletin board to do something different. This bulletin board would work well at any point in the year, but especially in April, as April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Passing the quiz out at a floor meeting would work well. Also, providing an incentive such as food and prizes could help with this program.

Other Considerations: The laws and instances of sexual assault come from the State of New Hampshire. I would encourage you to ensure the laws match those of the state you use this bulletin board in. If you can not find infromation about particular assaults, you can omit that part of the bulletin board and quiz, or decide to leave it in, as they offer a variety of assaults so that residents know that victims of sexual assailt can be all kinds.
