AWARE SERIES CONTINUES IN JANUARY: The second workshop session of the AWARE program presented by Centre Safe will be held 11am Wednesday, January 8 in the Fellowship Room.
St. Mark Lutheran Church has partnered with Centre Safe in launching a multi-year sexual assault prevention curriculum aimed at educating and supporting members of the 60+ age community, along with caregivers, staff, and volunteers of entities working with the specific demographic.
The second session focuses on creating safe spaces. Learn about boundaries, what they are, how to set them, and how to communicate them with others. Even if you missed the first session, you are invited to come to the January meeting. All sessions are free to attend. To register, contact Pastor David or email stmarksnydertown@gmail.com.
Funded by a grant from the Pennsylvania Coalition to Advance Respect, AWARE (Adult Wisdom to Advance Respect and Empowerment) aims to prove consistent prevention programming is effective at combating violence.
The first year of the program focuses on caregivers, staff, and volunteers. Year two will focus on members of the 60+ community, and year three will include education for community members.
