Empower UNC: Responding to Disclosures of GBV

Empower UNC: Responding to Disclosures of GBV (gender-based violence) is a training collaboration between Violence Prevention and Advocacy Services (VPAS) and Equal Opportunity and Compliance (EOC). This updated training replaced UNC’s former HAVEN training. 

Empower UNC equips students and employees with information, resources, and strategies to respond to disclosures of sexual violence, interpersonal violence, stalking, and sexual and gender-based harassment in an informed and compassionate way. 

This training consists of two parts. The first part is an online video that students and employees will receive upon registration and may complete asynchronously at their convenience. The second part is an in-person, live training session facilitated by staff from VPAS and EOC. 

After completing the Part 2 live, in-person training, students and employees will receive an Empower UNC placard and sticker. If you choose, you may display these to acknowledge your training completion and signal your commitment to supporting individuals affected by gender-based violence and harassment within our campus community.

Please note: Graduate and Professional students are welcome to register for the student or employee version of the training, depending on which feels most aligned and appropriate for their role(s) on campus.
