Mentors in Violence Prevention: Train-the-Trainer Workshop

Friday, September 10, 2021 - 3:00 pm to Saturday, September 11, 2021 - 4:00 pm

The Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) Strategies model was developed in the early 1990s by Jackson Katz and colleagues at Northeastern University in Boston Massachusetts. MVP is based on a peer leadership model that focuses on the role of the “bystander” when harmful or abusive language and behaviors are present. The model seeks to empower those who might otherwise be silent observers to situations where bullying and gender violence is unfolding. MVP has been implemented in high school settings, college settings, the U.S. military and within professional sports.

This 2-day workshop will meet: Friday, September 10, 2021, 3:00 - 9:00 p.m. and Saturday, September 11, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. 

This workshop is FREE to all UNI students, faculty and staff.
