Outreach and prevention

Our outreach and prevention programs are free to the community. The team shows up at resource fairs, county fairs, festivals, farmers markets, faith-based gatherings, brewfests, Pride celebrations and community meetings. As an apolitical and secular agency, we share information with any group interested in learning more.

We offer community education for service organizations, crisis services, nonprofits, businesses, and social and faith-based groups, and age-appropriate prevention programs for K–12 and college students, staff and faculty. Topics include domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, consent, healthy relationships, red flags and warning signs, and LGBTQ+ intersections of violence.
