The Awareness & Prevention program is a vide0-based series offered in English & Arabic that aims to promote student recognition around commonly faced stigmatized issues, as well as connect them to the appropriate protection services, if needed. Issues covered include gender-based differences, sexual harassment and violence, substance use, and disordered eating. Additionally, all students receive direct access to resources and services offering free mental health support.
