Our community education work includes evidence-informed child sexual abuse prevention programs Parents in the Know and They Said What? These programs are for adults to learn about preventing sexual violence in their families and communities. We also provide sexual harassment prevention and response training, sexual violence informational trainings, and trainings on healthy relationships. If you need trainings on different topics, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your request!
