We believe that education and prevention are key in creating a safer, more empowered community.
Through our comprehensive programs and collaborative efforts, we strive to cultivate a culture of respect, consent, and accountability, where everyone can thrive free from the threat of sexual violence.
At the ACE Center, we are dedicated to fostering a community free from sexual violence through comprehensive education and prevention initiatives tailored for all age groups. Our programs are designed to empower individuals with knowledge, skills, and resources to recognize, prevent, and respond to sexual violence effectively.
The Healthy Relationships Project consists of four programs: Care for Kids (Pre-K - 2nd Grades), WE CARE Elementary (3rd - 6th Grades), SAFE-T (7th & 8th Grades), and Project Selfie (7th - 12th Grades). These programs include student lessons, parent events, newsletters, and training for educators. They meet legal mandates for child sexual abuse prevention in 32 states and D.C., are developmentally targeted, trauma-informed, and focus on both victim prevention and harmful sexual behavior prevention.
SafeBAE developed at Harvard, engages the entire school community in culture, curriculum, practice, and policy change. It offers culturally responsive, evidence-based programming tailored to each school's needs, fostering long-term, transformative change.
School Based Programming
Professional Trainings
Our professional in-service trainings cover a wide range of topics, including sexual violence issues, child abuse/mandated reporting, legislative updates, and referral processes. These trainings are provided to professionals in social services, education, medical, legal, and law enforcement fields, ensuring a multi-disciplinary approach to prevention and response. We customize our presentations to meet your aligned goals and educational needs.
Community Engagement
To bolster community awareness, we organize annual events, maintain regular communication with local media, and engage with social media platforms and newsletters. Public service announcements and ongoing contact with local newspapers help raise awareness of sexual violence issues and promote our upcoming events.
