THE MVP PROGRAM: MEN'S VIOLENCE PREVENTION

Todd DennyA compelling outcome of this engaging program is the transformation of a focus on men as actual or potential perpetrators of violence against women to one of defining their roles as allies and advocates. This shift in perspective greatly reduces participants' defensiveness while increasing participation and commitment. Participants develop and practice a variety of practical intervention skills. With his engaging and humorous speaking style Todd:

  • Shows how homophobia and pornography contribute to male violence and sexual assault
  • Illustrates how the campus culture of alcohol use and sexual assault are connected
  • Teaches men practical skills to interrupt, confront and challenge violence and abuse by their peers
  • Discusses how coercion and manipulation contribute to rape
