Green Dot for New Beginnings
The Green Dot Strategy
Green Dot is a nationally recognized strategy focused on preventing power-based personal violence. The strategy is based on the belief that each of us hold power as bystanders to actively prevent violence and shape our community norms. Green Dot creates a community that believes violence of any kind is not okay, and we all must do our part to stop violence.
Red Dots
Violence in our community is a collection of individual choices to do harm. And each choice to do harm is a Red Dot on our community map. A red dot is a moment in time where someone's words, choices, or actions contribute to or tolerate violence in some way.
Reactive Green Dots
Violence prevention must mirror the problem of violence. In the same way that violence is a collection of individual choices to do harm, we can stop violence in our community with our individual choices to step-in and intervene. Every choice to intervene is a Green Dot.
