Curriculum Introductions

“It’s Everyone’s Business: Brief Introduction to Domestic Violence in the Workplace” (60-120 minutes)
The effects of violence in the home can easily spill over into the workplace in the form of missed work, poor performance, higher company health expenses, and potential harm to employees or customers. This workshop outlines safety plans for both employees in DV situations and risk management options for businesses. Managers, supervisors, human resources departments, and other work-related groups will find this presentation a literal lifesaver.

“YHTP’s Youth Impact Curriculum: Changing Minds, Changing Futures”
Early intervention can redirect juvenile offenders and other troubled youth away from serious adult crime. YHTP developed its Youth Impact Curriculum (YIC) to help at-risk teens and youth (ages 14-24) overcome cultural barriers, respond to stressors in their home and school environments, explore options for preventing violence in their communities, and set goals for the future. This presentation reviews the basics of YIC, and how people who work with youth can implement it in their schools and community centers.
