This program utilizes the Green Dot Strategy to prevent personal power-based violence in high schools in the Panhandle of Florida. Working in collaboration with the Panhandle Area Educational Consortium (PAEC), under a CDC-funded grant with the Florida Department of Health, FCPR and PAEC implement the Green Dot strategy at high schools in Calhoun and Liberty county. This includes facilitating bystander intervention trainings with students, teachers, and staff, where influential figures in the school are taught how to use Reactive or Proactive Green Dots to promote safety for everyone and communicate intolerance for power-based personal violence in their school. The goal is to incorporate Green Dot into the school culture, equipping everyone at the school to create a social norm where violence is not tolerated.
