Beavers Give a Dam (BGAD) is an evidence-based bystander prevention program that offers customizable workshops for specific Oregon State University communities. These workshops aim to help students develop the skills and confidence needed to intervene before sexual violence occurs.
After participating in a BGAD workshop, students are able to recognize different types of sexual violence and understand sexual consent — like when it can be given and received. They can also define the bystander effect and identify numerous bystander intervention strategies, as well as locate campus and local resources for sexual violence survivors.

Working at Counseling and Psychological Services has opened my eyes to the importance of and the lack of support for mental health in comparison to other components of wellness.”
