Presentations, Tabling and Resources
Changing the Conversation.
We believe that change starts with one person and we encourage everyone in our community to start the conversations with their family members, children, coworkers and friends. Let the change begin with you.
WCA staff are available to do in-person presentations or schedule virtual presentations over ZOOM or other digital platforms for travel, safety and health considerations. However, you can also access all our Digital Toolkit here complete with all of our presentation formatted with slides with voice memos and video presentations and handouts.
WCA Prevention Program
The Vision of the WCA is to foster a community where individuals thrive in safe, healthy relationships. Our Prevention Program is critical to making this vision a reality for our community. The goal of the Prevention Program is to change the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to violence.
Classroom Presentations
Presentations can cover a variety of topics including emotional intelligence, social norms and external influences, building healthy relationships, recognizing the red flags of dating abuse, helping a friend and available resources. Presentations can be one-time or span multiple days for deeper understanding.

Multi-week small group sessions can be beneficial for specific groups or to cover in-depth topics. Smaller groups and multi-week facilitation tends to be more productive as they allow for establishing rapport, building trust and developing skills.
