Our Prevention Education classes take place in schools, businesses, and organizations. The education is aimed at helping community members stay safe. If your group is interested in hosting a speaker from The Victim Center, please contact us
Did you know that $100 will provide our Prevention Education to an entire classroom?
Here is the impact your donation has on the 12,000 school-age children who receive this program every year:
- 94% of children promised to share learned information with a safe adult.
- 95% of children were able to identify at least one safe adult (such as a parent or teacher).
- 89% of children knew the most important safety rule (which is to tell a safe adult until someone believes you).
On average, The Victim Center sees 11 students a month come forward to a safe adult to report their own abuse or neglect.
*The number of students reported above was prior to COVID in 2019. In 2020 and 2021, we had to limit educational presentations due to visitor restrictions at schools and most local schools moved to a virtual platform. In 2022, we are increasing the number of presentations in schools because schools are ready for us to come back and are requesting our services.
