Aiding Women From Abuse And Rape Emergencies Inc

AWARE's violence prevention programs include primary and secondary prevention strategies organized into pathways that involve the community. AWARE facilitates the Haa Toch Lichesh community prevention group that implements community-based strategies for resilience, healing and wellness. These strategies include equity-based learning opportunities with indigenous healers and elders, cultural wellness activities, youth-focus groups focused on diversity and inclusion, and pathways for men to hold leadership roles in the movement to end gender violence.

AWARE's Juneau choice & accountability program (JCAP) works with men who have used abusive or coercive tactics with their intimate partners. Most of the referrals to the program come from the court system after a domestic violence conviction, or are part of recommendations from a probation officer. This 24 week program includes applicable lessons on communication, conflict resolution, empathy and skill-building exercises that emphasize equity and safety.
