ROAR
Reducing Our Assault Risk
ROAR is a prevention education program for high school and college students that addresses interpersonal violence prevention including date rape, dating violence, and stalking. ROAR addresses both young men and women in academic or social group settings. The information is valuable to both genders, as it helps young men understand such issues as “No means No” and the long-term results in arrest and conviction. ROAR also addresses issues surrounding date rape such as alcohol and drug use, communication skills, dating with a group, first date behavior, and establishing a safety plan. ROAR is comprised of two components -- Megan's Project and RAD.
Around the Community
ROAR
officials make special efforts to prevent violence in the Pee Dee community.
During visits to local campuses, members of ROAR organize late night
safety walks to determine areas where lights are not working or bushes
and shrubs are overgrown, providing places for assailants to hide. Special
events are also held throughout the year to call attention to the issues
and provide the community with information regarding personal body safety.
Risk reduction information is distributed through a variety of methods including book marks, flyers, doorknob hangers, posters, stall stories to name a few.
Megan’s Project is a curriculum created by Safe Harbor, Inc. in Greenville in response to the death of a high school student named Megan who was stalked and murdered by a young man she had been dating. Megan’s Project focuses on developing healthy relationships, self-esteem, communication skills, and other subjects crucial to young people.
RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) is a program of realistic defense tactics for women. RAD teaches prevention, risk reduction, and avoidance, while progressing to the basics of self-defense. This system is dedicated to training women in self-defense against various types of assault by utilizing easy, effective, and proven techniques. RAD is designed to provide women with the knowledge to make educated decisions about resistance.
