Welcome to the June 2017 edition of Hope House's Community Education E-bulletin!
Presentation Availability Over the Summer Months
Are you looking for a free presentation or activity for your child/teen summer program, such as summer school, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4H, or church youth group? Hope House can cover topics such as respect, bullying, internet safety, protective behaviors, and healthy relationships. Would your civic group, organization, church, or business be interested in a free presentation or training for adults? We can cover topics such as Hope House services, domestic violence and sexual assault, elder abuse, childhood domestic violence, child sexual abuse, teen dating violence, and bystander intervention. Please contact us at 608-356-9123 or email us to learn more.
Boys & Girls Club Girls' Group Wrap-Up
This school year Hope House's Prevention Project Coordinator, Nola, gave several presentations and group sessions to the Baraboo Boys & Girls Club Tween Girls' Group (or GIFT, Girls Inspiring Fun & Trust). For one of their last groups of the year, they watched a clip on media literacy from the documentary Miss Representation and discussed the impact of media messages about gender on our lives and society. Then they produced their own messages “talking back” to the media about what real beauty looks like. Below are just a couple examples. Thanks girls for inspiring us!
Thank You to All Who Participated in Denim Day in April!
Last month we told you about the many organizations that participated in Denim Day in April to show support of sexual assault survivors. Several of these organizations also decided to raise money for Hope House as part of their Denim Day event. We've been promoting Denim Day since 2012, and this year we've received the greatest donation amount totaling over $3,600! Thank you for your support. These funds will go towards our sexual assault services. To hear one of the Denim Day PSAs that ran in April on WRPQ in the Baraboo area, please click below. To hear our Prevention Project Coordinator Nola give a radio interview at WRPQ on the various Sexual Assault Awareness Month events that were held in April, click here.
