Preventing Violence
This violence prevention workshop helps participants access the skills and motivation they need to end bullying, harassment and violence in a non-violent and life-affirming way. Participants begin to recognize the root causes of violence, heal from the impact of violence, identify ways to prevent violence, as well as learn and practice age-appropriate intervention techniques when confronted with violence.
Our student workshops can be tailored for 5th-12th grade students.
NCBI is gearing up for our 3rd Annual High School Train the Trainer! From August 11th-13th youth and staff from area high schools will meet at Camp Paxson in Seely Lake to learn how to lead NCBI workshops. This camp is designed to teach the new leaders how to facilitate NCBI workshops in their schools and communities. These students will go on to lead violence prevention workshops for the incoming freshman classes at Big Sky and Hellgate high schools. Since the inception of these workshops the two schools have both seen a dramatic decrease in violent incidences. Our hope is to provide this program in all Missoula high schools.
If you or someone you know is interested in attending the camp please contact us at ncbi@ncbimissoula.org or (406)541-6891. We are accepting a limited number of community members this year so please call soon if you'd like to become an NCBI trainer!
