and sexual exploitation, ages 3<br />

address the dynamics of sexual<br />
violence and the effect trauma<br />

their family members.<br />
Sexual Assault Prevention<br />
Education<br />
The YWCA offers prevention<br />
education services to schools,<br />
youth-focused organizations,<br />
and professionals. Prevention<br />
education services prepare<br />
students, teachers, parents, and<br />
professionals to recognize and<br />
prevent abusive behaviors. The<br />
YWCA also instructs parents and<br />
teachers about the dynamics<br />
surrounding violence and<br />
provides support if an incident of<br />
violence occurs.<br />
