VSC Voice | August 2022

Planning ahead? Our educators are here for you.

Hello VSC,


Another academic year is upon us.


We want young people to feel safe and empowered. A stress-free environment for young people is essential to their success, but it can be difficult to meet all of their social-emotional and mental health needs. That's why we're here! Our education team can customize a program to suit your needs. Click here to let us know what works best for you.


For example, our team can present

  • workshops for parents and families on preventing sexual abuse
  • training on trauma-informed responses to victims and creating safe places for survivors, including a state-approved training course for mandated reporters of abuse / neglect 
  • model curriculums and effective programming that fulfill the PA Department of Education Act 71 guidelines
  • prevention efforts that support the PA Department of Education It’s On Us PA statewide campaign to end all forms of sexual violence and support survivors


We can work together to promote healthy relationships, engage parents/caregivers, train staff/faculty in trauma-informed practices, increase survivors’ access to resources and enhance community connectedness.
