Courage Connection is here to provide education to every member of the community. Our goals include increasing awareness about domestic violence and the resources available to support survivors and their children. 

Typical signs of abuse get overlooked because many individuals aren’t aware of the symptoms. Our Outreach and Education Program provides best practice information and resources about domestic violence. 

We reach out to the community in media and by printed materials. We are happy to provide materials to service providers, schools, businesses, and more.    

Courage Connection’s Outreach and Education program opportunities include: 

  • Workplace or group domestic violence awareness: We can customize training to help educate your staff or group to better help and understand domestic violence dynamics. 
  • Speakers: We provide speakers to groups, including colleges and universities, churches, service clubs, workplaces, community groups, and other organizations.  
  • Domestic violence materials, brochures, and resources 

To schedule a speaker, training, workshop, or to request materials, contact the Marketing and Communications Manager at (217) 819-4617 or ocravens@courage connection.org.
