A grant from the New Jersey State Bar Foundation (NJSBF) will help the YWCA Bergen County train college campus staff members in sexual assault response and prevention this fall.

The program, named Title IX New Jersey, is intended to ensure that Northern New Jersey colleges and universities are aware of their legal responsibilities to provide programming to prevent assaults as well as address the needs of survivors. The trainings will be conducted by instructors from YWCA Bergen County healingSPACE, a sexual violence resource center.
