Creating communities free from violence starts with knowledge, connection, and shared responsibility.
At NEWS, prevention means more than responding after harm occurs. Through education, outreach, and partnership, we work to build awareness, strengthen healthy relationships, and change the conditions that allow violence to happen.
Our prevention and education programs are designed for schools, organizations, workplaces, and community groups across Napa County.
Everyone has a role in preventing violence.
We provide engaging, trauma-informed education to help community members recognize abuse, respond safely, and support survivors with care and respect.
Programs are tailored to the needs of each group and can be adapted for different audiences and settings.
