TEEN DATING VIOLENCE PREVENTION

The people from YWCA are so amazing, passionate, and really want to get connected with more youth. They work with the youth directly in many of the programs (You Group, Healthy Love and Teen Dating Violence).

Some programs require an intake, but they would provide those documents to you if needed or do it over the phone.

Many families experiencing domestic violence also come to the attention of the child welfare system. Infant-Toddler courts are part of the overarching system that works to protect family well-being. This collection of resources includes, understanding relational dynamics of domestic or intimate partner violence, guides for varying professional roles, and the affects of domestic violence on children.

Stepping Stones from Our Sister's House

Stepping Stones uses a psycho-educational family intervention model to address the potential risks and impacts of domestic violence on the family. The intended outcomes of the program are to increase parenting skills, address both parents’ and children’s coping abilities and safety planning skills, and decrease the effects of post-violence stress. Eight weekly sessions will be held with the non-offending parent and their children. Stepping Stones is for children ages 6-11 years old and their parents, who have been exposed to domestic violence.
