Interpersonal Violence Prevention Training

As part of the University of Maine System’s ongoing commitment to creating safe and inclusive campuses, all students have access to the Interpersonal Violence Prevention (IPV) Training through Brightspace.

While completing this training may be required for some students—such as those in athletics, who have on-campus employment, or are in certain leadership roles—all students are encouraged to participate.

The training fulfills both Maine state law and federal VAWA requirements to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn about these important topics. The estimated completion time is 45-60 minutes.

What the IPV Training covers:

  • Interpersonal violence awareness
  • Affirmative consent and healthy relationships
  • Bystander intervention strategies
  • Resources and reporting options

How to access the IPV Training:

  • Open Brightspace from your MyCampus portal page
  • Click on “Discover” in the main menu
  • Search for “Interpersonal Violence Prevention Training”
  • Click on the training and select the blue “Enroll in Course” button

Topics covered in this training can be sensitive. Support is always available—whether you choose to take the training now or later.
