In addition to survivor advocacy, key outreach programs include invest, hark, wave, and the jacksonville safety first project. Invest is an award-winning, nationally recognized partnership between the jacksonville sheriff's office and hubbard house, assessing the most lethal domestic violence cases and providing outreach and services to survivors. Hark (helping at-risk kids) is an intervention and prevention program that focuses on children aged 4-17 who have experienced domestic violence in their homes. In the program, children are placed in age-appropriate groups and participate in activities designed to educate about the dynamics of domestic violence and how to deal with emotions. Through the wave program, hubbard house works in the schools, providing age-appropriate prevention curriculum designed to teach about healthy relationships. The jacksonville safety first project is a multidisciplinary community collaboration that sustains and strengthens the coordination of the judicial and community response to visitation and custody cases.
