Essential Resources for Back-to-School

Conversations on Healthy Relationships

As the school year kicks off, NYSCADV offers tools to help parents and educators support children through this transition. Our Primary Prevention Toolkit, part of the Because We're Dads Campaign, includes activities and resources to guide conversations about healthy relationships.

Explore these resources and join our events to champion gender equality, consent, and nonviolence in our schools and communities.

With the right resources and a united effort, we can help create safe, respectful, and inclusive environments for our children—both at school and at home—making the back-to-school season a time of growth and positive change.

Upcoming NYSCADV Events

2024 Legislative Session Review Webinar

Join NYSCADV on Tuesday, August 6, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. for the 2024 Legislative Session Review Webinar. This year, the Legislature approved several important pieces of legislation that have been signed into law or are awaiting action by the Governor. These include a bill to reduce stalking via vehicle navigation systems and another to authorize the state to pay DV shelters for any payment differential for housing a single individual in a room intended for double occupancy.

During this webinar, we will review several DV-related bills, focusing on what DV advocates need to know when working with DV clients. Should time allow, we will also discuss 2025 legislative priorities at a high level.

Time has been allocated for questions. If you have a question you would like to submit for discussion prior to the webinar, please email policy@nyscadv.org.

Who should attend: All are welcome to attend. We highly encourage domestic violence, sexual assault, and crime victim program staff, legal services staff, and community partners to attend.
