7/29/14- LACASA Center of Livingston County is taking action against sexual assault that occurs on college campuses. LACASAâS Youth Prevention Educator Kayla Dillon and Intern Jessica Dailey kicked the week off at Brighton District Library Monday afternoon with their first presentation on how to stay safe while at school. The interactive seminar known as âCollege Safeâ aims to educate college-bound students on ways to prevent sexual assault, as well as eliminate common misconceptions. Dailey tells WHMI sexual assault is not limited to one stereotype. The presentation highlighted preventative programs that several Michigan schools have and enforce, as well as steps to take should an incident occur. Dillon and Dailey discussed different substances that are commonly used, as well as what side effects to look for if someone is a victim of substance-influenced assault. While Dillon says the seminar may need some tweaking, she tells WHMI she wants to expand it to high school outgoing seniors. College students are encouraged to attend the free seminar, which will take place this Thursday, from 5-7:30 p.m. at Howell Carnegie Library. (DK)
