Anti-Violence Education



CVVC logo

Quoting from CVVC's website:

"The skills taught in the Center for Victims of Violence and Crime's violence prevention curriculum empower youth to make better choices that reduce his/her risk of victimization, as well as promote healthy, violence-free lifestyles.

"Our education model focuses on youth leadership and skills development delivered in a culturally and socially relevant context. Participants learn conflict resolution, anger management, effective communication, team building, bully prevention, values clarification, personal responsibility and leadership, risk-reduction, personal safety, diversity, and the impacts and trauma of crime. In addition, the curriculum addresses all forms of sexual assault as well as the relationship between drugs, alcohol and violence.

"Other components, such as music, art, drumming and drama can be added to the core curriculum to compliment and enhance the learning experience."
