Red Flag Campaign

Fri, Oct 18, 2024

Education Building, Lawn

As a part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Red Flag Campaign encourages the campus community to practice Green Dot bystander intervention when they see warning signs, or "red flags," of unhealthy relationships.

To individuals with disabilities, please indicate if you need additional services, assistance, or modifications to fully participate in this event either by contacting the CWGE or Accessibility Services at access@bgsu.edu or 419-372-8495.
