Request a Presentation

Would your organization like to learn more about child sexual abuse and Bivona?

We offer presentations to area clubs, schools and organizations. Our programs are designed to provide information about Bivona: the work we do, the services we provide and how we strive to meet the needs of child victims of sexual or physical abuse and their families.

Presentations are a great way for us to increase awareness about the prevalence and impact of child sexual abuse, and our community’s response to it.

We can customize our material to your group—whether it’s a church group or a day care center, business association or school—and can adjust the length of the program to fit your schedule. So whether you need a speaker for just 15 minutes, or an hour, we would welcome your call.

Tours of Bivona Child Advocacy Center are also available on an appointment basis. We can host small group presentations at the Center as well. Request a tour on our Contact page:
