Recognizing Warning Signs at Parties
Parties and social events are high-risk environments. This guide helps athletes recognize warning signs — someone being isolated, pressured, or too intoxicated to consent — and gives them specific actions to take.
Steps
- Teach the signs: isolation, intoxication, pressure, reluctance.
- The 'check-in' move: approach the person, not the aggressor.
- The 'distraction' move: create a reason to separate them.
- The 'bring friends' move: show up as a group.
- When to call for help: campus security, 911, or a safe ride.
