DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMS
Often when an individual hears the words
Rape Crisis of the Southern Tier, he/she immediately thinks a
rape has just occurred in Chemung, or Schuyler, or Steuben
county. Although that is true, rapes do occur in the three
counties that we serve and Rape Crisis may be called by the
victim or someone who knows the victim, or by the hospital, or by
law enforcement. We do so much more than just respond to a rape
that just happened.
Rape Crisis of the Southern Tier (RCST)
provides services and information to individuals and the
community to help prevent sexual violence and to keep
individuals from becoming first time offenders of sexual
violence. One way that we do this is by offering educational
programs on a wide variety of sexual violence topics to the
community free of charge.
These presentations are available to:
·
community groups
·
schools
·
colleges
·
hunger service
agencies
·
organizations
·
service clubs
·
businesses
·
faith communities
·
hospitals
·
law enforcement
Programs are available for audiences as
young as preschoolers and as old as senior citizens. They are
adapted to the needs, interests, and developmental level of the
group requesting the program. All programs are interactive and
provide age appropriate handouts for participants. School
programs are designed to meet the requirements of NYS Standards.

AMAZING ME! MARVELOUS ME!
These programs are designed as broadbased interactive
lessons to encourage girls and boys to strengthen their positive
self-esteem and self-worth in a group setting.
The goal is to help them grow in the
direction of a positive, healthy attitude in relating to self
and others.
Positive self-esteem and healthy attitudes
do not make issues go away, issues that children and youth face
growing up today.
However, when children and youth feel good
about themselves, they are smarter about what they do and their
vulnerability to victimization and bullying is reduced.
Goals of the program:
- Helping girls gain confidence, and
understanding of themselves and friendships, building
self-esteem and reducing vulnerability.
- Helping boys gain confidence, and an
understanding of themselves, reducing the risks of being
bullied, bullying, and being a bystander of bullying
behaviors.
Targeted Audience:
- Girls between the ages of 4 to 18
years
- Boys between the ages of 5 to 18 years
Time Frame: Each series is four 45 minute
to one hour lessons.
