Community Education Program
The Community Education Program is designed to educate all ages and all sectors of the community. It works with various types of agencies, service and religious groups, educational groups, including students from K – graduate school, professional groups, and cultural groups to educate them on statistics, dynamics, impact, and trends in the field of domestic violence and services available to families. It serves this diverse number of agencies and individuals through talks, interviews, workshops, panels, published materiel, media releases, and health fair exhibits. It also solicits and develops training for volunteers for the women’s shelter, court advocacy, and immigrant programs and provides educational sessions of empowerment for women in the shelter.
