Frequently Asked Questions
About Community Education
In what ways do you educate the community?
We educate the community on domestic and teen dating abuse through webinars, workshops, speeches, interactive activities, classroom activities, Q&A panels, and community fairs.
Do you charge to comes and speak to my group?
No. All of our community education solutions are free of charge for any community group or organization.
Do you come to us?
Yes, we come to you! Or we can set up a customized Zoom meeting for your organization. No group is too small or too large.
Are your topics appropriate for young people?
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.
