Healthy Relationships & Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention
Our approach to sexual assault prevention and healthy relationship education is built specifically for the unique social dynamics of athletic teams. We move beyond generic compliance training to deliver culturally relevant, trauma informed workshops that resonate with athletes and staff alike. By centering the athlete experience, we create an environment where accountability and respect become core team values.
Focus Areas
By centering real team dynamics and lived experiences, we help athletes and staff name behaviors that are often minimized, understand their impact, and take action to prevent bullying and hazing before they escalate or become normalized.

The Kansas City Royals are an American professional baseball team based in Kansas City, Missouri, with minor league academies in the Dominican Republic. The Royals boast many notable achievements, including multiple division titles and World Series championships. In the realm of baseball, the Royals are known as trailblazers in driving social programs, including player education and community engagement.
The Team in-person presentations on the annual prevention and awareness education concerning the League’s Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse policies for the Royals staff and minor league players were exceptional in content and delivery. The presenters’ ability to conduct these sessions with profound insight and engagement, in both English and Spanish, demonstrated a deep level of understanding not only of the topic but also in ensuring culturally relevant content. Their timely communication and flexibility in accommodating our schedule and needs ensured a seamless experience. The presentations were not only informative but also highly interactive, fostering an environment conducive to learning and discussion. The knowledge of Elevate Impact’s facilitators regarding MLB policies and the culture of our players and staff was evident in every aspect of their engagement with us. We look forward to future engagements with Elevate Impact and recommend their services to any organization seeking thoughtful and comprehensive presentations on staff and player education topics.
