L.I.S.T.E.N. GBV Risk Assessment Training

L.I.S.T.E.N. is an evidence-based risk assessment tool for gender-based violence (GBV) in colleges and universities. It was developed after the tragic death of Emily Drouet, an 18-year-old law student subjected to GBV, who received inadequate support after seeking help. She was sent back to her room alone and later took her own life. L.I.S.T.E.N. equips staff to respond responsibly to GBV disclosures, providing a clear conversation guide to assess risk as high, medium, or low, ensuring appropriate action to enhance safety. The training covers confidentiality, note-taking, and escalation procedures tailored to institutional needs.
