What Does It Look Like:
Trauma is one of the ties that binds most of humanity. All of us have experienced some sort of trauma. Whether acute or complex, there are few of us who have not experienced the traumatic loss of a loved one, illness, injury, assault, abuse or other experiences that have written on the wall of who we are, who we become and how we interact with others and the world. Given that trauma is such an important topic, and is inextricably connected to the survivor experience, it is where we start with year one of the learning program.

For Year 1 - there will be 8 video modules covering topics such as;
Week 1- Introduction
Week 2- The Basics of Trauma
Week 3- Types of Trauma Part 1
Week 4 - Types of Trauma Part 2
Week 5- Poor Responses from Perps
Week 6-Victim & Response Impact
Week 7-Support

Reach:
College Students: The NCAA, NJCAA and NAIA regulate approximately 570,000 student athletes from up to 2,068 North American institutions and conferences.

We believe in the power of sport to transform communities and through the Set The Expectation Champions initiative we are partnering professional athletes with community agencies who serve families and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Founded by Set The Expectation NFL Ambassador, James Smith-Williams, the Champions program successfully launched in Washington, DC in 2021 and we are set to launch in Los Angeles fall 2022.

Our Set The Expectation Champions Program is focused in the Washington D.C. area. They serve the DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence, My Sister’s Place, DC Volunteer Lawyers Project and CASA for Children of DC.

The Champions helped raise $100K for programs and served over 2,000 children.
$75K went directly to local Washington DC programs to use the money for the most needed projects. $15K went directly to buying items to support local DC drives and events.

Expansion and staffing for this program is key.
