Sexual Harassment Education Videos
A group of community leaders came together in 2022 to help educate our community about sexual assault through a series of public service announcements. Speakers are from Bainbridge Youth Services, Bainbridge Island School District, Bainbridge Island Police Department, and Virginia Mason, and each speaks to its roles and responsibilities when a sexual assault allegation is made. While each organization has a different role and varying legal obligations and constraints, they each play an important role in supporting the survivors of sexual assault.
