Julie Valentine Center’s mission is to end sexual violence and child abuse.
​

​Educating children, parents, education partners, and local community members is essential for a community free of child abuse and sexual violence. Both adults and youth need to learn about the risks of sexual violence and child abuse in order to recognize it when it occurs, prevent it from happening, respond to it in a proactive way, and access available sources of support.
​
The Julie Valentine Center offers training programs, information, and resources for students and adults.  Any of our programs can be customized to meet the needs of your audience and are offered in several formats. If you would like more information about any of our programs or would like to schedule a program for your group, please contact one of our education coordinator.
 
  • Learning Modules- Our Talk about Touching and Sexual Harassment and Sexting programs are available in student-led learning modules.  Each program consists of 5 or 6 chapters or modules.  Each program takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. 
  • Recorded Program- Our Talk about Touching and Sexual Harassment and Sexting programs are available in a recorded virtual meeting type presentation. The recorded presentations of each of our programs last approximately 40 minutes in length.
  • Live Program- All of our programs are offered live virtually or in-person. Our school programs are designed to last approximately 45-60 minutes, or the length of a class period.

Talk about Touching- A Lesson in Personal Safety
About Touching (TAT) is an evidence based program, utilized by the Julie Valentine Center, addressing Personal Safety with elementary school students. The TAT programs are tailored to the upper (4th grade) and lower (2nd grade) elementary grades. The program is approximately 45 minutes for both presentation. The 2nd grade program focusses on personal safety, tricky people and how to Think First to Stay Safe. We introduce the word and concept of a child molester; what it means, who can be one, and three safety rules they can use in any dangerous or tricky situation. 4th grade students learn to Trust Your Gut! This program builds on the foundations set in the 2nd grade, and also introduces safety rules for internet and social media use as well as the concept of unwanted and unwelcome behavior by fellow students. Students are empowered by learning about personal safety, child molesters, and support systems children can use in potentially dangerous situations. Students are taught to recognize and act when their instincts warn them a situation may not be safe. Students are empowered to say NO, GET AWAY, and TELL a trusted adult anytime they get into a tricky or uncomfortable situation.

Community and Parent Education
Sexting and Cyber Safety for Parents
Sexting and Cyber Safety for Parents is a program in partnership with the Information Security Department of Greenville County Schools. This program will review the information presented to students in Sexting and Cyber Safety.   We provide information to parents about what the biggest safety concerns are while their children are online, how they can talk to their students about appropriate online behavior, and how to respond to a disclosure of inappropriate activity.

School based programs for Parents​
Whether it’s Coffee with the Principal, a Lunch and Learn, or a Parent’s Night, JVC provides prevention education for parents about signs and symptoms of child abuse and child sexual abuse, appropriate vs. red flag behavior, and how to respond to a disclosure.​
​
Raise the Bar
Drug facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) is when drugs or alcohol are used to compromise an individual’s ability to consent to sexual activity. In addition, drugs and alcohol are often used in order to minimize the resistance and memory of the victim of a sexual assault. Raise the Bar promotes an environment of safety in local bars, restaurants, and establishments selling alcohol; Informs bar staff and patrons about DFSA, date rape drugs and local statistics, creates dialogue around alcohol impairment and sexual assault. creates safety plans in the event someone is drugged or overly intoxicated and therefore more susceptible to sexual assault, promotes bystander intervention from bar staff, and encourages community collaboration and accountability.
