Empower UNC: Responding to Disclosures

Empower UNC: Responding to Disclosures is a training collaboration between Violence Prevention and Advocacy Services (VPAS) and the University Compliance Office (UCO). 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 harassment, sexual misconduct, interpersonal violence, and stalking 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 UCO. 

After completing part two of the 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 harassment, sexual misconduct, interpersonal violence, and stalking in our campus community.

Campus Life Experience (CLE) credit is available for undergraduate students.

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.
