INFORMATION ON THE GREEN DOT INSTITUTE:
The Green Dot primary prevention initiative is a new way of thinking about and doing prevention. Green Dot is about culture change – harnessing the power of individual choices to shift our current norms. It was designed by integrating some of the best research on social change, diffusion of innovation, communication, persuasion, bystander intervention, and perpetrator patterns into a program that makes practical sense.

The Institute provides training for those who want to be Green Dot instructors for their organization, communities, agencies or universities. Participants will be certified to implement the green dot violence prevention strategy within their organization.
