Description

How Do I Prevent Sexual Assault?

If you're a teenager or young adult asking this question, there's probably a reason. Have you heard rumors about someone you know getting assaulted? Do you worry about date rape? Or perhaps you've experienced sexual assault and didn't know what to do or where to turn. Be Strong, Be Wise will help! Psychotherapist and trauma expert, Amy Carpenter, provides all the information young men, women, and non-binary youth need in order to avoid toxic relationships and instead build healthy ones. By the end, you will have tools you can use to feel confident in public settings, whether on campus, at a party or a club, on a date, or a night on the town.

You'll learn how to:

  • Establish a system with friends that lowers risk without missing any fun
  • Use the 5 tools that build self-knowledge and healthy boundaries
  • Recognize the red flags you need to know when meeting new people or starting a new relationship
  • Understand gender roles as they relate to safety
  • Identify and respond to cyber harassment
  • With Be Strong, Be Wise, learn how to have fun while staying safe!



  • Focus on connecting with young men and women preparing for college
  • Host launch events and signings
  • Contribute to blogs such as 3HO.org and others that discuss healthy practices
  • Submit to major industry reviewers, including Publisher's Weekly and Foreword Reviews
  • Target traditional media, including: PBS, CBS, NBC, WMEP, Portland Press Herald, and college newspapers
  • Target online media, including: End Rape on Campus and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) Blog

    Will definitely use again!

    Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

    The shipping was just superior

    The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

    Found a hard to get book…

    Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
