Advocacy Through Education

We are committed to sharing resources, providing information, and using our voices to advocate for the survivors in our community. One way we support victims and survivors is educating others about the effects violence has on individuals, their families, and on our wider community. Please contact us at any time to request a presentation, schedule a training, or to participate in an awareness event at [email protected], or (231) 759-7909.

 

Speakers and Community Presentations

Every Woman’s Place offers a variety of educational and advocacy presentations to increase our community’s understanding of domestic violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and the impact they have on survivors. Speakers are available to present to groups large and small at schools, businesses, churches, and community events.

Empathy Training

Our Empathy Training teaches participants the importance of empathy, helpful techniques to be empathetic and general information about domestic and sexual violence. EWP staff are available to provide empathy training to businesses and community groups at a minimal cost.

Awareness Events

We organize and host a variety of community and survivor events in recognition of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (February), Sexual Assault Awareness Month (April) and Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October). Activities include the Clothesline Project, Purchase with a Purpose events, our Silhouette Project, Denim Day, and Purple Thursday. Visit our Events Calendar for upcoming events!

Dating Violence Education

Studies show that one in five teenagers has experienced violence in a dating relationship; however, fewer than 3% have reported the incident to an authority figure such as a teacher, counselor, social worker or police officer. Every Woman’s Place offers a free Dating Violence Prevention Program for area schools that teaches youth about healthy relationship development, non-violent conflict resolution, and bystander intervention.
