Ann and Sharon facilitated the fourth session with goals of 1) sharing a new Resource Index to help find helpful content within the Toolkit, 2) discussing current issues on campus, and 3) identifying existing needs and future use of Toolkit resources.

SUMMARY of SESSION

We began with a review of the Toolkit Resource Index, highlighting more than 40 tools and templates, campus examples, data guidance, partner engagement, research-to-practice, and implementation tips. Using Zoom polls, participants were invited to identify resources that could be useful to their campuses.

The conversation focused on two questions:

1. What new things are emerging this year?

2. What things are circling back around?

Participants shared experiences related to digital harassment and stalking, increased reporting following changes in Title IX leadership and student leader training, pregnancy and parenting support, domestic violence affecting nursing students, staffing and funding losses, and the challenge of asking already-taxed colleagues to take on “one more thing.”

Themes we heard.

1. Pregnancy and parenting support continues to require practical, campus-level solutions. Participants shared examples including lactation spaces, supportive measures, flexible course arrangements, parking accommodations, childcare spaces, resource webpages, community partnerships, and efforts to celebrate student parents.

2. Digital harassment and stalking are creating new challenges for campuses. Participants discussed supportive measures, connections with law enforcement and courts, online harassment through social media and spam accounts, and the need for clear information about available resources.

3. Some longstanding challenges are resurfacing in new ways. Domestic violence among nursing students, violence in health care settings, staffing losses, reduced funding, and competing demands are continuing to place pressure on campus professionals.

4. Connection itself is an important source of support. Participants described the value of knowing that others are navigating similar challenges and having people they can call, share resources with, and connect to additional expertise.

The session concluded with resource-sharing among participants, including resources related to digital sexual harassment, pregnancy and parenting rights, and workplace violence prevention in nursing. Participants also exchanged contact information and offered direct connections to additional expertise and support.

We were intentional about not recording the sessions so that participants would feel free to share more openly.

In lieu of a recording, we are including a copy of the slides with Presenter Notes included.

The Index describes available resources for structuring data stories, planning backward from outcomes, assessing prevention capacity, identifying next steps, tracking trends, developing layered strategies, foundational training, bystander programming, communication strategies, policy outreach, compliance training, trauma-informed practice, and response/prevention choice points.
