Prevention Nation

Roy brings on Eric, the newest member to the education and outreach team at SAFE on Main, and they discuss some attributes, behaviors, and roles associated with men. Eric will be leading community level prevention efforts and some of which will include engaging men in our communities.

Jacy and Roy talk about the recent case out of Stillwater, Oklahoma where Jesse Butler received 150 hours of community service after raping and violently assaulting two teen girls from his high school.

Jacy and Roy explore data and how statistics seem a bit like victim blaming. 1 in 3 women experience SA puts the emphasis on women rather than the men perpetrating the assault. Roy and Jacy talk about reframing our statistics to illustrate it isn't just happening to them but that someone is doing it to them.

Roy brings Jacy into the podcast room for her introductory show as the new interim cohost of Prevention Nation. Jacy and Roy talk stress and mental health and offer some strategies and tips for managing our worries in healthy ways.
