Relationship Abuse and the Workplace

 

On Sept. 12 2006 the University of Maine's President Robert Kennedy signed into effect a new policy on Relationship Abuse and the Workplace. The new policy recognizes theimpact of domestic violence, sexual assalut and stalking on the workplace. University of Maine Policy on Relationship Abuse and the Workplace

A key aspect of the new policy is a network of informal responders, University of Maine employees who received special training on how to recognize signs of abuse, provide support and make appropriate referrals. Responders and Responder Training

General overviews on the policy are available for all employees. Employee Policy Overview

Maine's attorney general, Steven Rowe, also visited campus in September to give the keynote talk at an event announcing UMaine's new Relationship Abuse and the Workplace Policy. The result of an initiative spearheaded by Renate Klein and Carey Nason at UMaine's Safe Campus Project, the new policy is innovative and I believe that it will be very effective in helping members of our community deal with relationship abuse issues. A key component is a network of peer responders, UMaine volunteer employees who will be available to provide support and informed advice.
