Great ideas! Our campus police and local police have great information and programs and they are able to share their first-hand knowledge about things they've seen in our community. That is usually an eye-opener to the women. The university should also have a substance abuse prevention program/department that could serve as a great resource.
One thing I feel is extremely important to teach our women is the signs of alcohol poisoning and when to seek professional help. College students are usually new to drinking and do not know their limits, putting them at risk for alcohol poisoning.
Another good item to cover with the women is date-rape drugs. There are several types out there: Roofies(Rohypnol), GHB, and even Ecstasy. These are easy to find on college campuses and are becoming very common. Rohypnol can be purchased over the counter in Mexico as a sleeping aid, and it the U.S. dealers sell it is as cheap as $2 a pill. GHB is a clear liquid that is odorless and can be made with household chemicals.
The more information we can give our women, the more empowered they will be to make good choices.
Good luck and LMK if you need any help!
