Although precise figures are difficult to ascertain, surveys
suggest that approximately 20%–25% of female-identified and
5%–10% of male-identified college students experience sexual
assault, and 10% of all students experience psychological or
physical abuse by an intimate partner. Among trans, nonbinary, and
other gender-expansive students, rates are even higher.With
consequences that can include emotional distress, difficulty
concentrating and focusing on academic work, mood changes,
excessive substance use, and self-harming behaviors, it's clear
that sexual assault and intimate partner violence are issues that
require an emergent response. Leveraging knowledge from psychiatry,
college mental health, and higher education, Facing Campus Sexual
Assault and Relationship Violence With Courage offers a holistic
approach to preventing, addressing, and mitigating the effects of
campus sexual and relationship violence. This guide combines the
latest science with real-world knowledge and practical application
in four sections that examine: Prevention strategies from early
childhood to middle and high school and on through the collegiate
and graduate level, including how to establish a foundation for
consensual, nonviolent relationships. Systems of response and care,
from institutional responses, including Title IX policy, to models
of trauma-informed campus care. Clinical interventions for
survivors of campus sexual violence—with a special chapter
focused on graduate students—as well as perpetrators. Support for
students from marginalized communities, including queer and
gender-expansive students and students of color. The book also
offers a frank assessment of the power imbalances and systems of
oppression—White supremacy, racism, patriarchy, homophobia, and
transphobia among them—that underpin sexual and relationship
violence. In doing so, it provides a pathway for institutions of
higher education and mental health professionals alike to dismantle
these systems of institutionalized oppression that are all too
common in higher education.
