April marks Workplace Violence Awareness Month, a time dedicated to recognizing, preventing, and responding to workplace violence to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all employees. At UC Davis, we are committed to fostering a culture of safety and resilience. Throughout the month, we will be offering several opportunities for staff to engage in training, education, and discussions on workplace violence prevention.

The intention of this support space is to provide a safe and confidential space for people dealing with challenging relationships.

National Women's History Month highlights the achievements and contributions of women throughout history, emphasizing the importance of recognizing their impact on society. As we celebrate this month, it’s equally important for campus and health employees to prioritize safety by staying aware of their surroundings, using available safety resources, and following proper protocols. By fostering a culture of support and vigilance, we can ensure a safer and more inclusive environment for everyone.

We often share and/or exhibit experiences of stress and anxiety, particularly during uncertain times or after significant events—whether political, social, or economic in nature.

Bystander intervention is when an individual or group takes action to de-escalate or address a hostile, harassing, or inappropriate situation.
