Education and Outreach

The Interior Alaska Center for Non-Violent Living (IAC) prevention program provides presentations, handouts, training, and other opportunities for community education and outreach. To request the help of prevention staff for any of these opportunities, email preventiondirector@iacnvl.org or call 907-799-5075. 

The prevention program has a healthy relationships presentation designed for middle and high school health classes as well as a direct service training. The direct service training covers a set of practices for responding to a person who discloses intimate partner violence, suicidal ideation, or another trauma to someone working in a professional capacity. It is ideal for a range of service fields including youth programs, education, and ministry.
