Prevention Education
The Prevention Education team provides education and awareness to women, children and men by giving them the tools, resources and knowledge to empower them to create a safe place to live. Violence Prevention Programs are offered in elementary, middle, and high schools educating students how to recognize early warning signs of danger and get safely away from bullying, sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual abuse, relationship violence, date and acquaintance rape. These programs are age appropriate and school approved curriculums.
Evaluations indicate that children who participate in these programs are learning important safety concepts and problem-solving skills.
