HCWC offers community education, professional development, informational presentations on issues related to sexual abuse, child abuse, family violence, HCWC services, ways to get involved and more.

Communities without Violence

Though violence against intimate partners may seem like a couple’s or family issue, it’s actually a symptom of larger issues in our communities and society. Building healthier communities and challenging the attitudes and behaviors that normalize violence in our society is the only way to effectively prevent violence. When families, schools, and communities support each other and commit to healthier behaviors, together we can end abuse in our communities.
