Prevention & Outreach

For healing, learning and growing

​

• Prevention and Education:

  • Youth are one of the high risk groups for both perpetration and victimization, so reaching them is vital. We use a comprehensive approach to preventing and ultimately, end sexual violence in our community through the provision of interpersonal violence prevention curriculum for youth and their parents. The project uses research-based prevention strategies to increase knowledge of interpersonal violence; increase participant’s skills to connect bystander intervention, power structures and media literacy to interpersonal violence.

  • Outreach:

    • Outreach services include general awareness presentations and participating in events throughout the community to ensure people are aware of sexual assault and available resources. We welcome invitations to Community Health Fairs, Resource Fairs, Volunteer Expos and any event where we can set up a table and inform the community about the services we offer

    • Hudson SPEAKS hosts a monthly county-wide coalition to address sexual violence in our community. Meetings are the Third Thursday of every month at 11 am on Zoom. The link can be found here: hudsonspeaks | Facebook | Linktree
