SAAM 2013

1. SAAM 2013 This year we want every command to feel empowered to approach Sexual Assault Awareness Month in their own way with events and activities. Should you decide or need to use a “training” approach, use these basic slides as a conversation starter after watching each week’s introductory video. SAPR-L and SAPR-F have provided you a wealth of knowledge from which you can now have educated discussions and define your command’s way forward as we all work together to eradicate sexual assault from our Navy.

2. Courage to Commit • We live our values by: • Being a leader • Upholding the highest degree of integrity in our professional and personal life • Contributing to team success through actions and attitudes • Embracing the diversity of ideas, experiences, and backgrounds of individuals • Treating every person with respect • Exercising discipline in conduct and performance • Intervening when necessary • Growing both personally and professionally every day

3. Courage to Commit • “Small” negative behaviors, such as sexist comments and crude jokes, initiate a continuum of harm that encourages sexual harassment and, potentially, sexual assault. • Every member of the Navy-Marine Corps Team is responsible for creating a safe command climate free of sexual harassment and sexual assault
