Public Education
True North’s free Public Education programming aims to increase awareness and reduce tolerance of violence and abuse in the community through several workshops and presentations.
Public Education: Meeting the Community’s Needs
True North’s domestic violence prevention & intervention programming increases awareness and reduces tolerance of violence and abuse in the community. Education programming allows us to share reliable information, ask questions, explore “taboo” subjects, and acquire safety tools. There is nothing like the “Aha” moment when a participant learns something new that can help them make healthier, safer choices!
Our Public Educators are available to schools, clubs, community groups, welfare agencies, faith communities, and more. True North provides age-appropriate workshops and presentations on the issue of family abuse.
Public Education topics include:
-
- ACWS Leading Change
- Healthy Relationships,
- How to Solve Conflicts,
- Self-Esteem,
- Empathy,
- Bulling,
- Abuse,
- Anger Management for Children,
- Healthy Boundaries,
- Violence Awareness,
- Domestic Violence & the Workplace, and more!
There are over 20 different programs available through True North’s Public Education Programming!
True North’s programming is available all year round, at no cost. Additionally, Public Education is offered on a flexible schedule to suit your or your business’s needs. All programs have been catered around a specific grade or age range and are best presented to group sizes of 5-50 individuals. Programs take approximately 40-65 minutes. The Public Education Staff do their best to collaborate with your classroom, staff meeting, or Lunch & Learn time requirements.
Significant research has found that positive childhood experiences contribute to long-term positive health outcomes. Protective factors of individuals & communities, such as social-emotional competence, healthy coping strategies, support in times of need, and supportive social connections, help individuals and families to thrive!
