Our education specialists empower community members to foster healthy relationships and recognize, prevent, and respond effectively to all forms of abuse. Each year, we educate and train thousands of community members from organizations, community groups, schools, businesses, and service providers in Dallas-Fort Worth and the greater North Texas area.
Our community educators aim to promote healthy relationships and prevent dating violence and domestic abuse. We provide interactive presentations and training workshops that help community members understand and respond effectively to these types of abuse. All presentations are free to all local businesses, organizations, schools, and community groups. You can reach them through either live or virtual interaction.
Our community education department members visit schools, youth groups, clubs, and other organizations to deliver interactive presentations, and group activities that help young people develop healthy relationships. They also provide leadership camps and other group activities.
We educate the community on domestic and teen dating abuse through webinars, workshops, speeches, interactive activities, classroom activities, Q&A panels, and community fairs.

Absolutely. Not only are they age-appropriate topics, but they are also necessary topics of discussion if we want to prevent dating violence. Current research shows that even 9th grade is too late to start educating young people for primary prevention to be effective. Leading researchers recommend that healthy relationships and dating abuse education begin in the 6th grade.
We have a number of education and training programs for adults: volunteers, service providers, first responders, faith communities, and professionals. For more information, please check out our Community Presentations page.
