The C-Word: Consent

Breaking the silence & building a culture of consent.

The C-Word: Consent is an educational, highly interactive, Title IX–compliant program created by the team behind America’s No. 1 alcohol awareness program, A Shot of Reality. Designed specifically for college campuses, this program uses a dynamic blend of audience participation, improv-based exercises, and research-backed information to engage students in meaningful conversation. By creating a safe and approachable environment, it encourages honest dialogue around a topic that is often difficult—but essential—to address.

Through humor, interactivity, and real-world scenarios, the program breaks down barriers and challenges misconceptions surrounding consent and sexual health. Participants are not just passive listeners—they actively engage in discussions and activities that help them better understand personal responsibility, communication, and respect in all types of relationships. The result is a memorable experience that resonates long after the program ends.

Ideal for both students and campus professionals, The C-Word: Consent serves as a powerful tool for fostering a safer, more informed campus community. It addresses critical topics such as bystander intervention, effective boundary setting, online behavior, and access to survivor resources, equipping attendees with practical skills they can apply in their everyday lives.
