The Client
A professional sports league
The Challenge
The league sought to enhance its sexual misconduct prevention programming and update training content across three key areas: youth summer programs, new player orientation, and staff education.
The Solution
RAINN Consulting Group led a three-phase engagement:
Phase 1: We assessed training provided to youth program participants and made recommendations for improvement.
Phase 2: We reviewed new player orientation materials and advised on how to expand, reorganize, and strengthen the training.
Phase 3: We evaluated staff training and offered tailored revisions based on staff roles and interactions.
Across all phases, RAINN emphasized trauma-informed practices, clarity, and real-world application.
