Building a Culture of Safer Relationships at Campuses
Every student deserves to have their boundaries respected. Building that culture means making two messages equally clear: it’s okay to speak up, and no one is entitled to another person’s body.
Campus prevention should encourage students to express discomfort and seek support. It should also address the choices of those who pressure, control, or harm others. Responsibility for harmful behavior belongs to the person who chooses it.
We have created two printable posters and a campus prevention toolkit to help colleges bring these conversations into everyday spaces.
Your ‘No’ Should Be Enough
This poster highlights recognizable warning signs in relationships and reminds students that their boundaries matter.
Its message is simple: it’s okay to speak up - even when the words are hard to find.
Their Body, Not Your Right
This poster puts accountability front and center. Dating is not permission. Silence is not consent. Alcohol and peer pressure do not excuse harm.
It reminds students that consent must be freely given and can be withdrawn at any time.
Colleges are welcome to print and display both posters in residence halls, student centers, and other shared spaces. Pair them with your institution’s support contacts and reporting information so students know where to turn.
A Practical Resource for Campus Teams
The Safer Relationships, Earlier Support: U.S. Campus Prevention Toolkit gives college administrators and student-support teams practical starting points for prevention and earlier support.
Inside, you’ll find guidance on recognizing concerning relationship behaviors, setting boundaries, personal safety planning, and listening when someone shares an experience. It also includes national support pathways, state-level resource directories, digital privacy considerations, selected research, and a campus implementation plan.
Use it to inform staff conversations, strengthen referral pathways, and plan prevention activities alongside your institution’s policies and established response procedures.
"Prevention is a shared responsibility. It grows through everyday conversations, and support people can find and trust. Every campus has an opportunity to build a safe environment - and make 'being heard' part of its culture." - Deepanshi Bansal, ShineQuo
