He Hit Me! Now What Do I Do?
Using keys from her LiSENSE 2 DATE program, creator and College Love Coach, Dr. Torri “Love” Griffin, LPC instructs students on how to use common SENSE to remove NONSENSE so their relationships make SENSE. Every college student has an internal navigation system that gets set off whenever something their partner does looks strange, sounds suspicious, feels funny, smells fishy, or has no taste. Driving under the influence can blur the senses of brilliant and beautiful college co-eds and result in wrecks on the highway of love.
In this session students learn to safely navigate through dark and lonely streets and situations that often lead to unwanted sexual involvement; recognize, read and respond to important signs given by partners in relationships so they can avoid sudden, shocking surprises; know what to do if they get hit by another vehicle to avoid the cycle of abuse; and more.
