For Adults

Educational Presentations

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.

Cut It Out is a program aimed at salon professionals that is dedicated to building awareness about domestic violence. This program provides salon professionals with the awareness materials, tools to recognize warning signs of abuse and how to safely refer clients to resources.

Silence Doesn't Work Here is a program aimed at employers and human resources professionals that is dedicated to building awareness about domestic violence and its impacts on the workplace. This program will provide human resources professionals with tools to recognize warning signs of abuse, create a safe work environment, support employees in violent relationships and how to safely refer employees to resources.

We ask for a suggested donation to cover our costs for providing these presentations. Suggested amounts vary depending on type of presentation and requesting organization, and no presentation request will be denied because of an inability to make a donation.

Resource Fairs & Booths

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. Materials, brochures, emergency cards, etc., will be available for pick-up for fairs even if WEAVE is unable to attend.

To request a presentation or WEAVE representative at your resource fair, please call 916.448.2321. To help us better accommodate your request, please call to schedule a presentation well in advance of your chosen date.
