Hazing 101 is an evidence-based prevention and intervention course designed to help middle school and high school students recognize, prevent, and respond to hazing behaviors. The course empowers students to understand the impact of hazing, develop accountability, and build safer, healthier peer relationships.
Using evidence-based strategies and personalized learning techniques, Hazing 101 provides students with an individualized experience focused on meaningful behavior change rather than simple compliance.
