Prevention

At New Choices, we believe that the only way to truly impact victims/survivors of domestic violence is to educate relentlessly. Not just about what domestic violence is and what can be done about it but about the realities of victim/survivors experience. It is our hope that by humanizing the picture of an abusive situation we can lessen the judgment and stigma many victim/survivors face in their communities and amongst their peers, which only worsens an already miserable experience.

Our educational outreach programs include customized programs for:

• Workplaces
• Churches
  
  • Clergy
  • Church Groups/Sunday Schools
  • Pre-Cana Classes
• Law Enforcement
• Medical Professionals
• Community Groups
• Schools
• Pre-Schools
• Summer Programs for Kids of All Ages

• General Domestic Violence Awareness & Education
