The Greek Life community is dedicated to supporting our students in academics and wellness. This week we delve into the importance of taking a break and the effects of mental fatigue as part of our Care Begins With Me initiative. This newsletter discusses why it's ok to take a break, mental burnout, how to prevent mental burnout, self-care check-in, as well as much more.

Its on us CWRU Campaign

The Greek Life Office is encouraging the Greek community to participate in the It’s On CWRU
campaign. The Flora Stone Mather Center for Women provides violence prevention education
programs to the CWRU community through this campaign. It’s On CWRU’s mission is to
disrupt the culture of violence through evidence-informed education, mutual aid, and survivor
support. We achieve our mission by shifting dominant community attitudes about sexual
violence and establishing personal responsibility to support a culture of healing.
The Center for Women prevention education work is focused on three key areas: bystander
intervention, consent education, and survivor support.
Participants in education programs will be able to:

• define key terms and identify the root causes of power- and gender-based violence;

• debunk myths and de-stigmatize facts about sexual violence; 

• identify resources for continued education and services that may assist survivors;

• understand the role that all members of our community play in ending violence; and

• implement strategies to intervene as a prosocial bystander.

To find out more about the It’s On CWRU initiative and how you can get involved, you can
attend the next information session on Monday, April 12, 2021 from 4 to 4:30 p.m. You can sign

Prevention Advocacy

The Prevention Advocacy Compliance Clery Team is committed to providing ongoing updates, resources, and support to all CWRU community members impacted by sexual violence. The Center for Women has created a guidebook that acts as a non-exhaustive overview of survivor support resources, violence prevention education, and CWRU sexual harassment policy guidelines. It continues to be updated and expanded as we respond to the needs of our community. While this provides basic information regarding sexual violence prevention and
response, readers are encouraged to seek out more in-depth explanations from the information
sources provided throughout the guidebook. You can access the guidebook here:
