Langley organizations come together to bring sexual assault awareness to the community. Senior Airman Jordan Garner has the story.
REPORTER:
The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response office, drug and alcohol prevention, and other wellness programs bring awareness to the community through literature and games in the Langley Hospital atrium. They use these tactics to give Langley members a more hands-on experience in preventing sexual assault.
SSgt Sean Allen, Quality Assurance Evaluator:
“One of the many things that we try and encourage people to do is learn how to implement ways of bystander intervention. So when you see a sexual assault that’s about to occur, or different things that will lead up to it, we try to teach and educate people, regardless if you’re in the Air Force or not, of how to not be a bystander and be involved in sexual assault prevention.”
REPORTER:
One of the games uses beer goggles to show how alcohol use affects decision making, and how those effects play a factor in sexual assault.
SrA Natalie Gilliam, Mental Health Technician:
“We like to use the beer goggles as more of like an experience. So, there’s one that shows double the legal limit. So when your blood alcohol is that high, your thought process is skewed. Therefore, you can’t give consent. So it shows what you’re experiencing, how skewed your reaction times are, or your vision is at that certain blood alcohol content.”
REPORTER:
The fair participants wrote words of encouragement to sexual assault victims and grabbed souvenirs from Langley’s wellness programs, leaving the members more informed and prepared in the fight against sexual assault. Senior Airman Jordan Garner, Langley Air Force Base, Virginia.
