Outreach & Prevention

The Prevention and Education Department offers a wide range of evidence-based programs to educate Utahns of all ages and backgrounds about domestic violence. This department also works to bring awareness about domestic violence issues and ultimately prevent domestic violence in Utah. Prevention and Education staff members can provide programs for individuals, groups, companies, churches, classrooms, schools, and any other location/function interested in learning more about domestic violence and available services. In addition to educational programs,  Prevention and Education staff members attend events to provide information about domestic violence, agency services,  and other resources in the community. These events include but are not limited to community events (fairs), volunteer/employment fairs, health and wellness fairs, business expos, and conferences. All our material is available in English and Spanish.
