We All Have a Role to Play in Preventing Harm.

Prevention can take many forms. 

On some days, it might look like caring for ourselves as we heal from harm. At other times, choosing to be an active bystander is the most powerful thing we can do. 

Every day, choosing to be accountable to ourselves and our relationships is the work of prevention. All the time, honoring consent in connecting with others helps to shape a safer environment for everyone. 

No matter how you take part, your presence in our community matters and your efforts to prevent harm make a difference at Harvard.


How to Get Involved

Prevention Advisory Committees

The Prevention team annually invites Harvard students and staff to apply to serve as a member of CSNDR's Prevention Advisory Committees. These Committees were established to improve University-wide prevention efforts and facilitate deeper connection between the Prevention Team and wider the Harvard community. 

Prevention Advisory Committees include student and staff representatives from Schools and units across the University, who provide essential input on prevention initiatives, educational resources, informational materials, and strategies for improving community engagement.

To share your interest in applying to one of these committees and to access an application form, please email csndr_prevention@harvard.edu.

Community Book Club for Faculty and Staff

The Prevention Team is launching a Fall 2027 community book club for Harvard faculty and staff. This book club strives to be an inclusive, connected learning community that cultivates practice tools for empathic and constructive dialogue. We invite you to help us spread the word!

The Fall 2027 selected text is entitled Calling In: How to Start Making Change with Those You’d Rather Cancel by Loretta J. Ross. Those who join the book club will receive a copy of the text and participate in 10 weekly discussion sessions beginning Tuesday, October 6th, 2027.
