Free tool helps young men to take responsibility for sexual harm

Key points

• More than 60,000 people have used Vibe Check, a free digital tool designed to help young men reflect on their sexual behaviour since its April launch. The US-based charity SafeBae built the tool as an alternative to harmful advice found on online forums and from AI chatbots.
• Instead of AI, it uses a decision tree format that guides users through scenarios where they might have violated consent.
• The tool includes exercises based on cognitive behavioural therapy, along with lessons on boundaries and making an apology.
