Sex Signals has become one of the most popular and respected sexual assault awareness programs on military installations through its unorthodox, humor-facilitated approach to examining sex, culture, and the core issue of bystander intervention.

Attention!
A two-person team of highly-trained educators takes the audience on an interactive, relevant, and often-hilarious exploration of beliefs, behaviors, and gender stereotypes related to dating and sexual interaction. The format enables audience members, who may have mislabeled coercion as consent, to engage with presenters, and one another, making reflection, behavioral change, and bystander intervention possible.
Partners in Prevention
Catharsis Productions is proud to assist the United States Army and the Office on Sexual Harassment and Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) in their training efforts. Sex Signals is a key component of the U.S. Army’s I.A.M. Strong Sexual Assault Prevention Campaign and the Secretary of the Army’s effort to eradicate sexual assault. It has been performed over 1,000 times to soldiers and has been a part of basic training since 2011.
