We educate youth about dating violence, sexual <br /> violence, and healthy relationships, help students identify resources they can turn to for <br /> support — including trusted adults/parents, other professionals, and school and peer <br /> supports — and assist youth to build healthy social supports. In 2023, youth services <br /> advocates provided school-based advocacy services to 9 Ramsey youth. <br /> Community Education, Outreach, and Training <br /> Alexandra House staff participate in facilitating prevention education, community <br /> events, and professional trainings, sharing information about domestic and sexual <br /> violence, elder abuse, and Alexandra House services to a variety of groups/locations <br /> throughout Anoka County.
