LWC's Hatfield recognized for efforts to prevent sexual assault Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Kentucky. The month runs from March 1-31, 2009 Click on headline for full story, photo By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Affairs FRANKFORT, Ky. - A Lindsey Wilson College professor was honored last week for her efforts to raise awareness about and prevent sexual assault in Kentucky. Assistant Professor of Human Services & Counseling Tammy Hatfield received the prestigious Sexual Assault Awareness Month Award - also known as a SAAMy - on Thursday from the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs. Hatfield was presented the award in the Capitol Rotunda where KASAP also officially kicked off Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Kentucky. The month runs from March 1-31, 2009. Hatfield - who was one of four Kentucky residents recognized with a SAAMy - was honored for her efforts to promote education and awareness about sexual assault. Since joining the faculty of the Lindsey Wilson School of Professional Counseling in 2006, Hatfield has encouraged students to develop skills that will improve their understanding and service to victims of sexual violence. "This is an issue that should be important to all of us because it affects all of us in the commonwealth of Kentucky," said Hatfield, who is also a licensed clinical psychologist. To raise awareness about sexual assault, KASAP is promoting the "Green Dot Initiative." Every act of sexual violence - such as stalking, partner violence, rape, child abuse - is considered a "red dot." Conversely, a "green dot" represents a single incident that supports sexual-violence victims or decreases the incidents of sexual assault.Hatfield said the "Green Dot Initiative" encourages "all of us to take steps that can intervene and prevent sexual assault from occurring.""It can even be simple steps, such as calling attention to sexist jokes when they are told," she said. At Lindsey Wilson, students, faculty, staff and friends will be asked to wear green on Thursday to protest domestic violence and rape, honor sexual-assault survivors, remember victims, and call for an end to rape and domestic violence. For more information about Sexual Assault Awareness Month or to learn more about how you can participate, contact the Catherine Wilson Center at (270) 384-7317.
