Educate

Peace House strives to keep the issue of domestic violence in the forefront of public consciousness.

We do this through events, press releases and public service announcements.  Our board members and executive staff are actively involved in the civic affairs of the communities we serve and raise awareness within their circles of influence.

We also provide specific training to targeted groups within the community.

Schools Program

Our Schools program delivers age-appropriate training in the school classroom for grades K thru 12. Our curriculum includes Child Abuse Prevention, Internet Safety, Dating Violence and Domestic Violence Awareness; it is based on materials developed by Prevent Child Abuse Utah, approved by the State Office of Education.

For more information on how to help with this program or bring it into your school, please contact our Schools Program Supervisor.

Community Awareness Program

Our Community Awareness program provides useful information and training for community groups and organizations. For example, we train health care providers to recognize the signs and symptoms of domestic violence and to talk with their patients about what may be happening to them at home.

We speak to church and civic groups, employers, public safety agencies and many others. We not only raise awareness and understanding of the issue, but also let community members know what they can do if they suspect an incidence of domestic violence within their own sphere of influence.

For more information on how to help with this program or to have someone present to your group, please contact the Community Awareness Program Coordinator.
