7/27/14 - Two seminars aimed at increasing awareness about sexual assault among college-bound students will take place this week. The College Safe seminars are being offered by LACASA to increase student awareness about sexual assault risks, provide self-defense information, and dispel myths about sexual assault. Youth Prevention Educator Kayla Dillon will host the events, and she says while many students think strangers pose the biggest threat of sexual assaults, more than 90% are actually committed by someone the victim knows personally. She says the seminars will help students heading off to college learn to protect themselves and their friends by knowing the risks and avoiding vulnerable situations. The first meeting will take place on Monday from 1:00 to 3:30pm at the Brighton District Library, while the second will take place Thursday from 5:00 to 7:30pm at the Howell Carnegie Library.
