Too many individuals experience power-based personal violence such as bullying, dating violence, and sexual assault during their time in high school. To address this the Green Dot program is being implemented at Kodiak High School.

KIBSD has partnered with KWRCC and KANA to roll out the program. Training will be provided for all members of the Kodiak High School community over the 2021-2022 school year. 

Green Dot is a violence prevention strategy focused on preventing power-based personal violence. It seeks to permanently reduce rates of interpersonal violence by establishing two cultural norms at high schools: 1) Power-based personal violence will not be tolerated; and 2) Everyone is expected to do their part to maintain a safe school. Green Dot invites individuals to reconsider their personal role in preventing violence and shifting social and cultural norms. Green Dot sees all school community members as potential active bystanders and seeks to safely engage them in violence prevention by empowering them with the tools to do “green dots” – small, individual, and manageable actions and behaviors that express intolerance for violence.

AWBW’s trauma informed art workshops offer a process of self-expression, self-exploration, and self-interpretation.  Unlike art therapy, there is no therapist or other authority responsible for interpretation or diagnosis.  Each participant is in charge of their own creative exploration. The AWBW philosophy is grounded in the idea that the art workshops are a “Window of Time” — a safe, non-judgmental space where participants can authentically express their identity, hopes, dreams, experiences and truths. Workshops typically run 60-90 minutes.
