A recent visit to a grantee program at the University of Guam yielded great information on what is being done on campus to prevent sexual violence. ISA Psychological Services and the Violence Against Women Prevention Program work to provide students with effective prevention and intervention programs with help from Guam’s Attorney General-Alicia G. Limtiaco and various community partners.
