The Green Dot Strategy is an innovative approach to violence prevention. Green Dot harnesses the power of individual choices to shift social norms, resulting in broad-based culture change. Green Dot is based on a wealth of interdisciplinary research including social change theory, diffusion of innovation, communication, marketing, bystander intervention, and perpetration patterns. Visit our website to learn more about the Green Dot curriculum.
Components of the training include:
- A comprehensive review of the research and theories which inform the Green Dot Strategy.
- Elements of the Green Dot Strategy and curriculum.
- Developing an implementation plan.
Attendees of a Green Dot Training experience an interactive and personally challenging training that is designed to inspire renewed hope and a vision for a safer world.
College:
This training is limited only to colleges funded to implement Green Dot by the Florida Department of Health. To maximize the potential for real change on a college campus, a team approach to Green Dot is required. If you are coming from a campus that is already implementing Green Dot, you are welcome to attend the training solo or with other team members. If your campus is new to Green Dot, we require a team of at least 2-3 participants from your campus, with a strong recommendation for teams of 5 or more. One person cannot single-handedly create the sustained changes that an issue like power-based personal violence prevention requires. We recommend that team members include not only designated prevention/intervention staff, but also professionals across your institution like faculty, student affairs staff, and administrators. Finally, any participants from agencies outside of a campus are required to attend in partnership with a local campus team. While community-based agencies can provide much needed support and expertise, the Green Dot College Strategy is a campus mobilizing effort and must be led from within the institution.
We are pleased to announce that the April training will be held at the Florida Hotel and Conference Center in Orlando. Here is the link to register:
