Millennium Fellowship Project: Know The Signs
Know the Signs: Recognizing and Preventing Abuse in Relationships is an educational awareness initiative designed to help students identify early warning signs of unhealthy and abusive behaviors. Through interactive events, workshops, and resource-sharing, the project empowers students to understand the dynamics of emotional, physical, and psychological abuse while promoting healthy relationship norms.
The project provides accessible information through activities such as myth vs fact games, interactive wheel questions, and reflection boards where students can share thoughts and experiences. It also connects participants with campus resources, including the Office of Sexual and Interpersonal Wellness and local organizations that support survivors of domestic and interpersonal violence.
By creating a supportive, engaging space for learning and conversation, Know the Signs aims to increase awareness, reduce stigma, promote early intervention, and ultimately foster a safer and more informed campus community.
