Prevention & Education

As WEAVE's name has become increasingly familiar in the community, requests for our presence at fairs has increased as well. We are grateful that so many organizations value WEAVE's participation. Unfortunately, this also means that we are unable to fill all of the requests that we receive. WEAVE's agreement to participate is based on the information and availability of staff.

WEAVE's Children's Education Program provides a program to 4th, 5th and 6th grade students. The curriculum is entitled Safe Families: Breaking the Cycle of Violence and focuses on helping children understand the problem of domestic violence and identify ways to stay safe.

WEAVE's Community Educator and volunteer speaker's bureau, Voices Against Violence, provides educational presentations and trainings to thousands of adults throughout the greater Sacramento area. Speakers present to a variety of audiences and cover a wide range of topics related to domestic violence and sexual assault, including WEAVE services and resources, Rape Trauma Syndrome, the dynamics of abuse, effects of violence on children, and intervention strategies. Presentations can be tailored to meet your organization's specific needs.
