“SAFER Choices” is one of the most inclusive and sought-after school assemblies for creating a safe, age appropriate look at consent, respect in relationships, boundaries, bystander intervention, and working to reduce sexual assault.
For 2 decades, the program has been brought in by schools throughout North America (public, private, faith-based, boarding, urban, rural, etc...).

Build a Culture of Respect with the
“SAFER Choices” Assembly with Mike Domitrz, CSP, CPAE:
While many school presentations try to raise a student’s awareness, Mike Domitrz’s “SAFER Choices” School Assembly is focused on getting students to take positive actions for creating a culture of respect in and outside of their school. Mike helps students shift their mindsets while providing each student with how-to skills for making safer choices for themselves and their peers.
Program Overview/Takeaways
In each 45 to 60 minute “SAFER Choices” Assembly, the content is customized to fit the students participating and the school culture. If Mike is sharing with 6th grade students or Seniors in high school, he tailors each lesson to be age appropriate. Your students will discover specific how-to skills for:
- Honoring the boundaries of one's self and others.
- Understanding the importance of consent (asking first).
- Intervening when disrespect is occurring in front of you.
- Supporting survivors of sexual assault.
- Addressing today's pressures - such as sexting and pornography.
- Building a healthier school culture.
20+ Years of RESULTS from 38,000 student surveys speak for themselves:
Over 96% of students say they are more likely to take the following actions after experiencing Mike's program:
- Ask First before engaging in intimacy.
- Intervene when someone is using alcohol or other drugs to facilitate sexual activity.
- Reach out to family and friends to let survivors know they are supported.
Evidence-Based & Proven:
Mike Domitrz’s presentation is one of the few educational programs to have been researched and evaluated by a third-party research firm. The results? This program has been proven to be evidence-based AND that it creates a statistically significant impact on Middle School & High School students!
Every time Mike speaks at our school, he discusses dating, consent and sexual assault with empathy and humor. His engaging presentation makes a strong impression on students and gives educators, and parents, footing to have meaningful conversations with these young adults. I highly recommend bringing Mike to your school.
Jim PlinePrincipal, Oregon High School (WI)
"Bringing Mike to speak with our students has helped to positively shift the culture and the realities of how our students interact with each other. Nowadays, when we find students in any type of sexual scenario (from kissing to more), they have all been clear that consent was discussed and agreed upon as part of their interaction. That outcome is directly correlated with Mike's annual presentation to the student body at our school. Our students live the skills Mike teaches around consent and respecting boundaries."

A masterful balance of humor, sincerity, and critical engagement that helps students take an honest look at their experience and make choices that are consistent with their highest values.
Mark LedererDirector of Health and Wellness at Bishop O’Dowd High School (CA)
The high school and middle school students were talking for days about "SAFER Choices" and the impact you had. One student shared, “someone finally put it in terms we can understand.” You truly have a unique place in the area of sexual assault prevention and education. Thank you, many times over!

Mike Domitrz was one of the best, if not the best speaker we have had in 17 years here. He didn't talk 'at' the students or try to be 'cool'. We are in a very tough battle because the kids see and hear so much in the news that goes against basic human morality and this message of tolerance, humanity and kindness needs to be delivered over and over.
Marguerite GreenAsst Director of Student Activities, Bishop O'Dowd High School
"I have been working in independent schools for over 20 years and your combination of inclusive language, humor, warmth, passion, skill, clear content, empathy and emotional intelligence made for an impressive presentation that impacted their heads and hearts. The message has stayed with our students and we are receiving wonderful feedback. WOW! SO good."
Charlanne Zepf BäuerleinCounselor, Greenwich Academy (CT)
While any work on consent and sexual assault can be touchy and even polarizing, you managed to bridge the gaps and get our most stubborn players onside. Everyone agreed that you were amazing.
