“This is extremely important for students to learn about at this age before going out in the world on their own. Before the program, I thought I was pretty well educated on the topic however, after going through this course I learned so much more than I ever thought I could learn. I can only find positive things to say about this program because a) this is a topic that is NOT talked about enough b) especially as young women but also as young men we need to find our voices and learn as much as we possibly can about this because sexual assault and harassment happens way too often, especially in the world outside of high school and c) I think it is important in general to have a safe space to talk about this in a classroom because many people do not have this at home. Thank you so much Amy!!!”
- Sofia M., High School Junior
“I think the most useful thing I learned was how to be prepared for any potentially dangerous situations and either avoid them or handle them. I am not a very outgoing person and generally tend to listen in discussions, so even when I didn’t speak I always had something that I could say. I liked when you would call on people if it got silent because it helped me be less nervous. I also liked how you listened to everyone’s responses and then responded in a thoughtful way. I always felt comfortable in that class, which is very important to me!!!”
-Anya B., High School Sophomore
“As a college student, the fear of sexual assault is real. In a society where sexual violence seems almost “normal,” Be Strong, Be Wise offers us a place to go from being afraid, to being aware. It brings us to an understanding that these attacks are anything but normal and gives us the tools to prevent them.”
-Crystal B., college student
“Amy made me feel comfortable and welcome in her space, which was very encouraging, and allowed me to speak up. Not everyone is comfortable talking about things like technology and cyberstalking, so the issues that arise because of it don’t get fixed. But Be Strong, Be Wise really helped me build confidence, and know that I can be better prepared in a threatening situation.”
-Celeste M., High School Senior
“While neither of my children were thrilled at the mention of class for an hour on this topic each Tuesday night, you hooked them immediately and by the end they both said that THEY would LIKE to take another course with you.”
-Anne P., parent and teacher
