- Dealing with Anxiety

Prevention Education
Prevention Education programs are designed to give students a knowledge and understanding of Healthy Communication, Conflict Resolution, Building Self-Esteem, Power of Spoken Words, and Types of Abuse. Students learn how to make better choices in life and to develop a support network; they also receive instruction about identifying positive influences & environments, and avoiding detrimental events.
Looking For My Sister also provides resources and support for educators and community leaders. Our prevention specialists participate in discussion panels or presentations for large and small groups that are interested in domestic violence awareness and cessation; we are also a resource for research, problem assessment, referral programs, treatment programs, and community & cultural issues that pertain to domestic violence prevention.
Looking For My Sister's prevention outreach extends to the youth as well. We provide education programs and speak to young people—from ages 3 thru high school—about domestic and dating violence topics. Read about our youth awareness program, "Take the Stage".
