Green Dot Institute in Tennessee

Colleagues,



The Green Dot Institute is coming to Tennessee! The Green Dot primary prevention initiative is a new way of thinking about and doing violence prevention. Green Dot is about culture change – harnessing the power of individual choices to shift our current norms. It was designed by integrating some of the best research on social change, diffusion of innovation, communication, persuasion, bystander intervention, and perpetrator patterns into a program that makes practical sense.



The Institute will feature Green Dot author Dr. Dorothy J. Edwards of the University of Kentucky. Dr. Edwards and the Green Dot training team will train participants on launching a Green Dot movement in their communities, agencies and universities. Green Dot Institute participants will be certified to implement both phases of the Green Dot curriculum (Phase 1: Green Dot Persuasive Speech; Phase II: Green Dot Bystander Training). The training will include a comprehensive review of the philosophy, research-base, and curriculum of Green Dot.
