How does the Prevention Team connect to other teams in the Office? expand_more

We regularly collaborate with counterparts in CSNDR's teams on non-confidential activities related to education and training and outreach. The Prevention Team does not engage with any clinical services or confidential information related to individual matters.

The work of prevention shouldn’t fall to students alone. How is the Prevention Team working with faculty, staff, and administrators on these issues? expand_more

Student involvement is one key component of the constellation of prevention work required to reduce harm at Harvard. However, students cannot, and should not, have to engage in this work alone.

That is why the Prevention Team emphasizes the need for structural and culture change in addition to involvement at the individual level.

As the Prevention Puzzle illustrates, improving systems and structures (including creating clear, humane, and fair policies) and creating a culture of consent on campus through education and support, is essential to cultivating conditions where each of us can engage in preventing, reducing, and responding to instances of power-based, interpersonal harm at Harvard and beyond.

The Prevention Team works with the broader Office and the wider community to gather and respond to critical information about the prevalence and dynamics of power-based interpersonal harm at Harvard, including discrimination, bullying, harassment, and sexual violence.

This information is garnered through community conversations, direct feedback from students, staff, faculty, and postdoctoral fellows, as well as through formal data-gathering efforts.
