Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault

Safe Dates Training at Williamsville HS
2022-05-09 - 2022-05-10 | Williamsville-Sherman CUSD #15, 800 S. Walnut St, Williamsville, IL, 62693, United States
Safe Dates is a school-based prevention program for middle and high school students designed to stop or prevent the initiation of dating violence victimization and perpetration, including the psychological, physical, and sexual abuse that may occur between youths involved in a dating relationship. The program goals are to change adolescent norms on dating violence and gender-roles, improve conflict resolution skills for dating relationships, promote victims’ and perpetrators’ beliefs in the need for help and awareness of community resources for dating violence, encourage help-seeking by victims and perpetrators, and develop peer help-giving skills. PCASA preventionists will provide the curriculum to students at Williamsville High School during health class.
