What are the Differences Between Men’s Friendships and Fraternal Brotherhood? Implications for Violence Prevention Efforts on Campus
How are fraternal brotherhoods created and how do they differ from “regular” friendships between college men? Based on findings from a longitudinal study of fraternity men, this presentation explores the concept of “brotherhood” as framed in terms of sacrifice and access to power and status on campus, while friendships are based on reciprocity, or the idea of relational give-and-take. The second part of this presentation will explore opportunities to encourage college fraternities to lean on the aspects of brotherhood that more closely resemble genuine friendship, rather than the parts of brotherhood that encourage blind solidarity and promote status anxiety.

Countering the Impact of the Manosphere: Promoting Healthy Masculinities
Many young men are feeling left out and disenfranchised, and told they are “toxic.” This negative labeling can lead many to look for community in places that can take them down rabbit holes of misogyny, white supremacy, and other oppressive mindsets as they seek connection and validation. In this dialog-based webinar we will explore some targeted and campus-wide approaches to promote masculinities that are healthy for individuals and communities.

Press Start: How Gaming Shapes the College Student Experience
This 60-minute workshop will discuss how digital and tabletop gaming influences the social and emotional development of college-age students. Both online video games (e.g., Call of Duty, Stardew Valley, Fortnite, Minecraft, etc.) and tabletop role‑playing games (e.g., Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, etc.) will be presented. Gaming has become a central feature of campus culture. This session explores gaming’s role in identity formation, social connection, sexual development, and mental health among college-aged populations. Workshop attendees will learn to identify both the benefits and risks associated with student gaming behavior, recognize when gaming intersects with concerns like problematic use or sexual content exposure, and develop practical strategies for engaging students in meaningful conversations about their gaming lives. The final 10-15 minutes will be left for Q & A.

Sexual Violence Prevention and Response in an Extreme Environment: Insights from Victim Advocacy in Antarctica
This webinar offers a rare, first-hand look at sexual assault and harassment prevention and response in one of the most remote environments on Earth—Antarctica. Through real-world insights and anonymized case experience as a Victim Advocate at McMurdo Station, the session explores how isolation, close living quarters, unique social spaces, and varying organizational structures shape impactful prevention efforts and help-seeking behaviors. This presentation also highlights how survivors navigate trauma in environments where privacy is limited, social networks are tightly interwoven, and professional and personal relationships often overlap. In addition to gaining an understanding of this environment, many of the lessons learned can be helpful to the micro-communities in the campus world.

Building the Capacity for Repair: Preparing Respondents for Meaningful Participation Throughout a Restorative Process
Accepting responsibility for behavior that caused harm is often challenging and can become even more difficult when the behavior is sexual nature and/or may subject a respondent to civil or criminal liability. This session explores pragmatic ways in which those who facilitate restorative process can help prepare respondents for meaningful participation under challenging circumstances. Topics addressed include: navigating the contours of privacy, confidentiality, and privilege; working through shame and stigma; distinguishing responsibility from accountability; utilizing appropriate assessment mechanisms; the goals of shuttle facilitation; creating rehearsal opportunities; and more. Collective wisdom will be welcomed from the audience as we learn and grow together.

Navigating the Darker Elements of the Manosphere and Being a Good Dude
With the explosion of online content creators, society has seen an increase in male influencers who purportedly focus on issues chiefly affecting male adolescents and adults. This realm of online personalities dedicated to male issues has colloquially come to be called the manosphere. On initial glance, such a focus seems beneficial given that many argue men are facing a crisis in the U.S. and abroad. However, some of these influencers trafficking in this material are perpetuating harmful stereotypes about both men and women, with devastating consequences. For instance, some of the misogynistic views endorsed online have been cited as motivation in mass attacks. The presentation, Navigating the Darker Elements of the Manosphere and Being a Good Dude, introduces the audience to select personalities trading in harmful male content. Additionally, attendees will learn about the manosphere’s history and what may be driving young men to consume such content. Lastly, participants will be introduced to material that frames masculinity in a healthy way, fostering principles such as accountability, emotional expression, and healthy attitudes toward the sexes.

Targeting Protective Factors: Reducing the Risk of Harmful Sexual Behaviors and Promoting a Resilient, Prosocial Lifestyle
Historically the mental health field has focused a great deal of attention on risk factors linked to problems including harmful sexual behaviors. However, in more recent years there has been growing awareness of the importance of targeting protective factors. These factors (assets and resources) not only help reduce the risk of harmful sexual behaviors but also buffer life stressors and promote a prosocial lifestyle.
This training will describe a variety of protective factors that have been linked to positive outcomes in youth and young adults who engage in problematic sexual behavior. The protective factors are organized into three interrelated areas of protection—Individual attributes, Family characteristics, and community supports and resources. Assisting students in acquiring the attributes, skills, and resources for leading resilient, prosocial lives, is the goal.

Working with Respondents in Sexual Misconduct Cases: Perspectives from Practitioners
As more campuses move toward providing support services for respondents in campus sexual misconduct processes, it is important to identify effective strategies for this work. In this session, we discuss the findings and implications from a qualitative study with 24 practitioners who work with respondents in a variety of roles. We will explore the ways that practitioners conceptualize their roles, the challenges of ever-changing policy as it relates to their work, and the specific interventions practitioners provide. We will conclude the session with discussion about implications of the research for different contexts.
