PREVENTION EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Through interactive and engaging programming our highly skilled Prevention Education Team works to shift community culture that supports domestic and sexual violence and elder abuse, and promote healthy, respectful relationships, consent and equality.

Our goal is the prevention of relationship and sexual violence, and elder abuse—keeping abuse and violence from happening before they start. We work to achieve this with a variety of prevention and education programs for all ages, as well as community coordination and policy consultation.

"It helped me in my daily life determine what is abusive in some of my relationships and what’s not. My family has struggled with some of those things and it's amazing that you guys are educating us to help the kids who are struggling and help prevent it from happening."
