Prevention
SafePlace believes that one of the keys to creating a community free of violence is to offer programs that provide trainings and materials to schools, counselors, service providers and law enforcement. These programs teach others to recognize abusive behaviors, respond appropriately and build healthy and respectful relationships free of violence and control to help end the cycle of abuse.
In 2009
- 2,469 people with disabilities, professionals, or family members participated in training related to abuse/violence against people with disabilities.
- 11,641 middle and high school students participated in sexual and domestic violence prevention activities or presentations.
