The Center for Family Justice

Prevention Education

At The Center for Family Justice, we bring our professional and trained staff to your children’s schools to talk to them about a variety of issues, from bullying, body safety, teen dating and conflict resolution.

We make sure all our presentations are age appropriate and trauma informed as we work toward social change by promoting respectful, non-violent and healthy friendships, relationships, families and communities.

We break down the information so we can offer programs for students in:
Grades K-5 | Grades 6-8 | Grades 9-12 | College/University Students | General Public/Professionals

  • collage of speaking events, tables at events, and youth with motivational speaker
  • collage of camp hope group photos, remembering those affected by dv, and volunteers at community table
  • collage of students volunteering and making a difference
  • collage of award recipients and nonprofit work in with police
  • collage of speakers at CFJ events
  • Collage of camp hope students smiling, hanging out together and being in nature.
