School-based Prevention Programs

Family Violence Project offers six prevention programs for students Pre-K through grade 12. Visual aids, role-playing, discussion of real-life scenarios and time for questions make each age-appropriate program interesting and interactive -- and each one creates a foundation for the next. The presenters put students at ease with their friendly, down-to-earth communication style and encourage each one to participate. If you'd like to help increase awareness about abuse – and help end it -- contact one of our abuse prevention educators for more information.
