What does Alternatives offer in prevention and education programs?
Alternatives is serious about our mission of eradicating violence and abuse. We offer extensive prevention programs in secondary schools. The CARe2GetConnected program is a dating violence and date rape prevention effort offered to middle and high school youth in classrooms and youth programs. We train hundreds of professional every year about domestic violence and sexual assault. Ricker Oil Company, Gas America, hospitals and police and fire departments joined with us in an effort to offer safe haven sites throughout communities where victims can seek assistance to call for help. Through our There’s No Room for Domestic Violence program, all fourteen law agencies in Madison County track statistics monthly and endorsed a standard domestic violence response policy. Components of this program have been replicated in Hancock and Tipton Counties.
