COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Response works with our community in the upper Roaring Fork Valley– with schools, businesses, community associations, judicial system partners, and faith-based organizations – to end domestic and sexual abuse. We strive to change the community conversation around domestic and sexual abuse and to drive social change by encouraging bystander intervention and collective intolerance of abuse, and highlighting the reality that these are community-wide problems that deserve community-wide solutions. We provide prevention education programming in middle schools from Basalt to Aspen.
Response speakers are also available to any group interested in a presentation about issues related to domestic and sexual abuse. Topics include but are not limited to:
• Response Programs and Services
• Healthy Relationships
• Domestic Violence 101
• Sexual Harassment and Abuse
• Bystander Intervention
• Teen dating violence
