I Have The Right To Resources

We teamed up with Peers.net to offer our members free and confidential mental health support. Peers.net is a telehealth platform where teens and young adults (ages 13-30) can book a 1-on-1 session with a professional peer supporter of their choice within 24 hours. Professional peer supporters provide emotional support, teach skills, and share their knowledge and personal experiences dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, body image issues, LGBTQ+ questions, and more.

The hub for middle, high school and higher education students, parents, and educators looking for information, support, and avenues of action against sexual assault.

I Have The Right To’s mission is to create an ecosystem of respect and support for students and survivors of sexual assault. We believe firmly that safety starts with respect.

Talking about the risk of sexual assault with your child often means first talking about the opposite: healthy relationships. No matter the age of your child, be sure to regularly express to them that you want them to have healthy, safe relationships. This post talks more about how to do this.

Give gifts of support, encouragement, and love this holiday season with our suggestions.

I Have The Right To curates curricula and training in partnership with middle and high school educators, administrators, and parents, all with the goal of creating an ecosystem of respect and support for students and survivors of sexual assault. 

Preventing sexual assault is a big goal. And yet, with these actions your school will be that much closer to preventing cases of sexual assault and responding fairly when they do happen.
