Navigating the Red Zone and Beyond
The first few months of college are often referred to as "The Red Zone," a period frequently discussed as a higher-risk time for sexual assault and other unsafe situations. As students adjust to a new environment, greater independence, unfamiliar social situations, and new relationships, preparation and awareness can make a meaningful difference.
Navigating the Red Zone and Beyond was written to help students and families have important conversations before move-in day. Rather than focusing on fear, this guide emphasizes practical decision-making, situational awareness, healthy boundaries, recognizing manipulation, and developing the confidence to navigate college life safely.
Preparing before college begins gives students more options when they encounter unfamiliar situations.
