			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Through the largest grant they have ever made in Hamilton County, the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana (a CICF Affiliate) allowed Prevail to begin implementing Safe Dates during the 2010-2011 school year.  Safe Dates is an evidence based program designed to stop or prevent the initiation of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse on dates or between individuals involved in a dating relationship.</p>
<p>The first year consisted of research, planning and initial implementation at 4 schools in the County.  We also provided the Safe Dates program to students at the Juvenile Services Center.</p>
<p>Now, in year 2, we are broadening the program’s reach and already have commitments from 4 schools representing 2 districts to offer the curriculum during the 2011-2012 school year and anticipate another district coming on board in early October.</p>
<p>If you are interested in learning more about &#8216;Safe Dates&#8217; please contact us at prevail@prevailinc.com or 317-773-6942!</p>
