New month. New beginnings. New opportunities for growth. 🍂

We had a paw-some time at the Break the Cycle Mentorship Program's Trunk or Treat at Dugan Best Park last week! 🐾💚

Our spotted puppy trunk helped us share an important reminder: looking out for one another and taking small, safe actions can make a BIG difference in preventing violence.

Thank you to Break the Cycle for inviting us to join the Halloween fun and helping us spread the Green Dot message! 🐶🎃

Halloween Party Safety 101 🎃 As Halloween parties ramp up this spooky season, it’s more important than ever to watch out for one another. Here’s how to stay safe and have fun:

1. Travel & party in groups, and look out for each other

2. Stay alert to your gut instincts and if something feels off, act on it

3. Be an active bystander and step in using the “Four D’s”:
• Direct — speak up when you see misconduct
• Distract — interrupt or change the scene
• Delegate — recruit someone else to help
• Delay — check in later or intervene when safer

4. Know the importance of clear consent, especially when alcohol is involved

5. Watch your drink and never leave it unattended

6. If you’re in college, be aware you’re in the “Red Zone” (Aug–Nov), when sexual violence rates rise (roughly 50% of campus incidents happen during this time)

Enjoy the thrills, but always keep safety at the core. ❤️

Creepy costumes? YES. Creepy behavior? NEVER. 👻

This Halloween, remember that a costume is NOT consent. What someone wears is never an invitation for unwanted touching, comments, or sexual behavior.

Consent should always be:
🎃 Freely and willingly given.
🎃 Clear and ongoing.
🎃 Free of pressure or manipulation.
🎃 Respected when someone says “no” or changes their mind.

Whether you're celebrating at a party, out with friends, or enjoying Halloween festivities, respect and consent are always important.

Let's keep the scares in the costumes and make safety and respect a priority this Halloween! 💙
