Women In Distress firmly believes that prevention through education is the key to stopping abuse for everyone. Since 1974, Women In Distress has made great strides in creating special programs geared to preventing the escalation of domestic violence.

Women In Distress provides professional education about domestic violence to law enforcement personnel as well as to health care professionals. The specialized training includes successful ways to deal with victims and abusers. In addition, the program sheds light on the warning signs to detect if abuse is present in a home situation.

A well-received program, "It's Not O.K." has been developed to educate children about domestic violence. The overall message stressed in this role model program is that domestic violence is not acceptable behavior and help is available to families in crises

In addition, Women In Distress has a trained volunteer staff to conduct educational presentations to the community at large. These presentations are delivered at no charge and highlight facts about domestic violence as well as the role of Women In Distress in the community.

Women In Distress also offers special seminars and educational presentations at the Jim and Jan Moran Family Center. The 500-seat auditorium is perfect for lectures and other presentations.
