Outreach & Education
Crisis care saves lives today, but education changes lives for generations. We bring workshops, awareness campaigns, and prevention education to schools, businesses, churches, and community gatherings across Accomack and Northampton counties.
Ending Abuse Starts With Prevention.
Where You’ll Find Us on the Shore
Normalizing the Conversation Across Our Peninsula
Abuse thrives in silence and shame. That’s why ESCADV goes directly into our Eastern Shore community to break the stigma surrounding domestic and sexual violence.
You’ll frequently see our team tabling at local farmer’s markets, health fairs, county community days, and faith-based festivals. We provide free informational resources, safe discreet contacts, and educational materials to let our neighbors know that support is always within reach.
Tailored Workshops & Speaking Engagements
We offer custom, interactive presentations tailored to your group’s specific needs, timeframes, and audiences.
