NEW YORK—January 19, 2021—Morgan James’ new release, Be Strong, Be Wise: The Young Adult’s Guide to Sexual Assault Awareness and Personal Safety by Amy R. Carpenter, teaches young people how to lower risk of sexual assault.
Be Strong, Be Wise encourages young adults to recognize red flags when meeting new people, and build the personal authority that supports healthy boundaries. Psychotherapist and trauma expert Amy Carpenter provides essential information that young men, women, and non-binary people need to keep themselves safe at high school or college, without missing out on social experiences.
By the end of Be Strong, Be Wise, young adults will learn how to establish a safe system with their friends that decreases risk. Amy Carpenter outlines how gender roles and societal pressures contribute to cases of sexual assault, detailing why many young people stay silent when confronted with questionable and dangerous situations. The tools Carpenter provides will help young people to feel confident in public settings, whether on campus, at a party or a club, on a date or a night on the town.
