Community Education - The heart of abuse prevention and response is education and training. The Education Department of The Safe Center offers extensive learning opportunities on emerging topics related to abuse using cutting edge research for all sectors of society: individuals, neighborhoods, community organizations, schools, colleges and universities, religious institutions, fraternal groups, small businesses, service providers, corporations and everything in-between.

The Child Advocacy Center works to reduce the trauma experienced by child abuse victims by providing them with a child-focused environment, timely treatment and service delivery, more efficient case investigation, and increased offender prosecution. The Child Victim Advocate Program works to ensure that the needs of a child who has experienced abuse or neglect are met. Support services such as providing referrals, explaining the legal process and accompanying the child and non-offending family members to court, police, medical and therapeutic sessions are some of the things an advocate does. Additionally, therapeutic services are offered to children, non-offending family members and other non-offending people in the childs life who are willing to be part of the healing process. Individual, family and crisis therapy sessions are provided at no cost and under the supervision of a licensed therapist.Project Kidz Talk is a family support group program for child victims of sexual abuse and their non-offending family members. The program is structured to provide both opportunities for children and adults to connect to others who have been in similar situations as well as the opportunity for families to connect and communicate in ways they may not have been able to since the abuse occurred. Groups are divided by age group and allow parents and children to see that they are not alone. The groups allow families to build coping skills and resilience. Throughout the group cycles, we have family nights which allow families to work on projects collaboratively. Dinner, which is provided by the program, is also an opportunity for families to connect. The program is run both in English and Spanish on separate nights.
