SAAM 2013 This year we want every command to feel empowered to approach Sexual Assault Awareness Month in their own way with events and activities. Should you decide or need to use a “training” approach, use these basic slides as a conversation starter after watching each week’s introductory video. SAPR-L and SAPR-F have provided you a wealth of knowledge from which you can now have educated discussions and define your command’s way forward as we all work together to eradicate sexual assault from our Navy.
