Our prevention educators have developed dynamic and engaging workshops designed to empower participants, including:

• Relationship Awareness Workshop: Guided by the expertise of Veronica Lopez, participants will engage in a journey of personal growth and empowerment, learning about the significance of self-love, establishing healthy boundaries, and recognizing red flags in relationships.

• Young Love Workshop: This fun and interactive workshop provides young individuals with essential skills and knowledge to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy relationships. Our focus is on prevention and fostering a supportive community for our youth.

To arrange a workshop or learn more, please contact Veronica at (760) 753-1156 or dvprevention@crcncc.org.
