Prevention Programs
Prevention isn’t about stopping violence before it occurs to one individual, it’s about calling out and changing the systems and social norms that keep so many people trapped in perpetual cycles of violence and abuse.
It takes us all
At REACH, we believe change is possible. Our prevention programs work to create a world free of intimate partner violence, where every individual and community can experience safe and healthy relationships.
Empowerment Through Education
REACH offers a number of different training seminars and workshops built to address issues such as domestic violence awareness, the impact of DV-related trauma, teen dating violence, the intersections of boundaries and consent, and more.

Does someone in your life feel unsafe
in their relationship?
Here's how you can help:
- Listen, listen, listen. Give them space to share what they want you to know. Ask questions from a place of curiosity, not judgement.
- Don't assume or label their experience. Use the same language they use to describe their experience and their partner.
- Provide options, not advice. It's important to give folks the freedom to make decisions that are best for them.
- Continue supporting them. This can be hard if the person you are supporting makes a decision that you don't agree with! Everyone is the expert of their own lives and knows what is the best and safest for them.
