Green Dot at RIC
About Green Dot
“The power of the Green Dot is simple: Red dots bad. Green dots good. You decide.”
(from
livethegreendot.com)
Green Dot is a prevention program that works to reduce the prevalence of power-based personal violence such as sexual assault, stalking and bullying. While red dots on a community map symbolize acts of violence, green dots symbolize actions that prevent violence before it occurs. The Green Dot philosophy is based on the idea that individual safety is a community responsibility.

Strategies
As a Green Dot campus, Rhode Island College hopes to empower its community members to take actions that will decrease the likelihood of power-based personal violence. Green Dot facilitators offer trainings on the three basic strategies for bystanders to intervene in a safe, effective and comfortable way:
-
Direct – Directly interact with a potential perpetrator/victim.
-
Distract – Create a diversion to defuse a potentially problematic situation.
-
Delegate – Ask someone to help with the situation.
