Community Education
Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse offers educational presentations and trainings about domestic abuse to community members and organizations. The purpose of this Emerge! service is to increase awareness about domestic abuse by defining abuse, dispelling its myths, and by providing information to help avoid abuse, help end abuse, and help others hold abusers accountable.
Educational Presentations
Our educational presentations are free and are generally one to two hours in length. To request a presentation, please email education@emergecenter.org or call 520-795-8001.
Domestic Abuse 101
This presentation provides a thorough overview of the dynamics of domestic abuse, including a definition of domestic abuse, power & control, effects of abuse on children, how to help, safety planning, and Emerge! services. This overview is great for community groups, college students, faith-based groups, social service organizations, and work sites.
Healthy Relationships
This presentation encourages participants to explore the components of healthy relationships. Attendees participate in activities to help identify the qualities they look for in their own relationships and whether these are part of a healthy relationship. Participants also articulate their reasons for decisions they make about their behaviors in relationships and consider how to promote healthy relationships in the community. Great for elementary, middle, and high school students.
