    Economic Education Classes:

    The number one reason anyone returns to their abuser is the fact that they do not have relevant job skills or training to earn adequate income to support themselves and their children. Once safe from harm clients can get their emotional bearings and begin to consider the obstacles and challenges that lie ahead for them to work toward independent living.

    The Economic Education Class addresses the financial challenges of achieving self-sufficiency faced by our clients. It is designed to help clients improve their financial condition by broadening their skills through job training. The curriculum used for the classes was written specifically for victims of family violence and is provided to our agency by the Allstate Foundation.

    o   Learn to build a budget

    o   Manage their money

    o   Prepare for job interviews

    o   Secure a better paying job

    The Speakers’ Bureau is offered as a community service at no charge to inform religious and civic organizations and clubs, educational institutions and businesses about victimization.

    In-services, seminars and workshops are conducted with law enforcement, medical services, educators and community agencies to assist them in working with victims.

    The East Texas Crisis Center also provides primary prevention education to train and initiate change in the mindset of young males to break the cycle of sexism and violence against women. This prevention education is conducted at schools, youth clubs and colleges.
