The Rape Crisis Center is proud to offer prevention education programs under the Department of Education and Outreach in the areas of child assault, sexual assault and dating violence to the Clark County community. Sexual assault is a complicated issue. It isn't smply about sex. In this sense, it is the focus of The Rape Crisis Center to be instrumental in changing the behaviors and attitudes in our society. We stress empowerment on all its levels, especially the ability to take action before anything happens and/or seek assistance should anything occur. The following are our main guiding frameworks:

We are all responsible to keep ourselves and other safe, and report and intervene if witnessing violence
We want to model and encourage Healthy relationships
We want to stop negative and violent images in Media and Pop Culture
We want to change societal norms

Our prevention education programs are available to all age groups, genders and communities. Below, please click on a link to learn more about the programs offered at The Rape Crisis Center.

CIRCLE OF 6

You're on a date ... with someone whose behavior is getting out of hand. Aggressive. Inappropriate. You want out. What you wouldn't give to send a smoke signal to your very best friends, to have them call riiiiiight this minute, rescue you, give you an out. There is a mobile app that helps you do this — and more. There's safety in numbers with Circle of 6.

Circle of 6 is a previous first place winner in the White House's Apps Against Abuse challenge. It’s a tool that puts our most tight-knit support networks right in our pockets. Users can instantly and discreetly access their five most trustworthy friends should an unsafe situation rear its ugly head. GPS coordinates and mobile messaging functions give contacts all of the info they need so that that they jump into action to get help on its way ASAP.

The creative team behind Circle of 6 includes Nancy Schwartzman, founder of The Line campaign, and Deb Levine, founder and ED of ISIS. While brainstorming ideas and surveying college students, the two women found themselves drawn to the image of a circle. "[We] started researching the holistic properties of a circle: egalitarian, infinite," Nancy told Act. "It's how we hang out, especially in college. You have your crew, your gang, your circle. Your friends are nearby. You want them nearby. You can get out of these problems more easily if you can alert your friends more easily."

They joined forces with designer Thomas Cabus and developer Christine Corbett Moran to create the secure, privacy-driven submission.

Does it actually help users feel safer? You bet.

Consider this stat from the White House: "Young women aged 16-24, experience the highest rates of rape and sexual assault, and 1 in 5 will be a victim of sexual assault during college ... Moreover, sixty percent of college students who have been in an abusive relationship say no one helped them."

Guys and gals alike can find more information about Circle of 6 on Facebook, Twitter, and on the app’swebsite.
