Sexual Assault Awareness Month, observed in April, was established to highlight sexual violence as a public health issue and educate communities on how to prevent it. Across the University of Michigan, there are numerous units dedicated to supporting individuals who have experieced sexual assault and educating the community on prevention strategies. One of those units is SAPAC: the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center. In this episode of Michigan Minds, SAPAC associate director Anne Huhman outlines what SAPAC is and how they are committed to prevention education, offer confidential support, and provide resources, training, and programs for the campus community. She also highlights some of the upcoming events taking place throughout April, planned by students, to bring the community together while raising awareness. With five different student volunteer programs and more than 150 volunteers coordinating events, there is something for everyone.
