DDSV Events

Crucial to the prevention of sexualized and gender-based violence is education and awareness. DDSV Services works with the Mount Royal University community to provide prevention education and awareness initiatives across campus.

Stepping UP is a relationship education program designed by students, for students!

A major feature of the Stepping UP program is the opportunity for students to learn workshop development and basic group facilitation skills.

With support from community partners, faculty advisors, and staff, Peer Facilitators develop workshops to promote healthy relationships and raise awareness about relationship violence prevention.

Peer Facilitators host workshops where they help the wider MRU community to gain increased awareness and understanding of what it means to be in a healthy relationship, and ways to prevent relationship violence.
