Prevention Education
United Against Sexual Assault’s Prevention Education Department aims to increase our community’s awareness of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and child abuse prevention and intervention strategies through classroom and community presentations. All presentations are tailored to each individual group, available in English and Spanish, and free of charge.
UASA has been presenting CAPP (Child Abuse Prevention Project) in our classrooms since 1980 and TAPP (Teen Assault Prevention Project) since 1985. UASA’s Prevention focus is both youth and outreach to the community. Programs are directed toward elementary, middle, and high school audiences, school personnel, and parents.
