## 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.
