Lauren's Promise

Everyone has the power to Listen to Believe Respond to a person asking for help

What is Lauren's Promise?

Lauren’s Promise is a vow that anyone – faculty, staff, students, parents, and community members – can take to indicate to others that they represent a safe haven for sharing incidents of sexual assault, domestic violence, or stalking. Anyone who makes Lauren’s Promise will listen to and believe those individuals who are being threatened or experiencing sexual assault, dating violence or stalking and will help connect victims to support resources. By making Lauren’s Promise, individuals are helping to change campus cultures that respond poorly to dating violence and stalking throughout the nation.

I promise to:

Listen and believe you if someone is threatening you

Represent a safe haven for sharing incidents of sexual assault, domestic violence, or stalking

Change campus culture that responds poorly to dating violence and stalking
