Community Workshops

The Safe Center LI offers the following programs to general members of the community, parents and concerned adults:

  • Community Response to Domestic Violence: We will discuss the scope of the problem of Intimate Partner Violence and the services available for victims. We will explore how individuals, groups and institutions can help to identify and prevent partner violence in all its forms.
  • Enough Abuse-Keeping Kids Safe From Sexual Abuse: Our expert trainers will teach you how to identify, prevent and appropriately respond to sexual abuse at home and in the community. We will discuss warning signs of children who may have been harmed, and adults who may want to harm children. Participants will learn ways that families, groups and organizations can create safer environments in which children can learn, play and grow.
  • Community Response to Rape and Sexual Assault: We will discuss the prevalence of the issue including which groups are at higher risk for experiencing assault, the emergence of drug facilitated sexual assault, how rape culture perpetuates abuse, the emotional and physical impact of rape and sexual assault on survivors as the services available to those who have been victimized.
  • Community Response to Sex Trafficking: We will explore how human sex trafficking exists in our communities and what we can do to stop it.
  • Elder Abuse & Maltreatment: Every hour, 365 days a year, a case of elder abuse is reported to the police, yet this is one of the most under-reported crimes. Victims are women and men, and the person abusing them may be a spouse, an adult child, a relative or a caretaker.   Elder abuse comes in many forms and may be exhibited in many ways.  One of the most commonly reported forms is the simultaneous occurrence of physical abuse and financial exploitation.  Learn more about elder abuse in this workshop and find out what you can do to prevent it.
  • Healthy Relationships: A 60- or 90-minute program that addresses attitudes and behaviors associated with all types of relationships, including family, friend, peer, and significant other. The program strives to raise students’ awareness of what constitutes healthy and unhealthy relationships and equips them with the skills to develop healthy relationships, including positive communication, consent, and conflict resolution.
  • Safe Dates: A 4 session program facilitated by our teen dating abuse educators in Long Island High Schools and Middle Schools. The program strives to raise students’ awareness of what constitutes healthy and unhealthy relationships and equips them with the skills to develop healthy relationships, including positive communication, consent, and conflict resolution.
  • The Neurobiology of Trauma: The landmark Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES) showed clear links between the presence of trauma in childhood and poor health outcomes throughout the lifespan. This workshop explores the brain-body connection to trauma, tying direct links between trauma and conditions such as depression and addiction. Participants will learn about the body’s stress response system and how it is impacted by trauma, as well as ways to intervene and heal dysregulated stress response systems.
