Katie Brown Educational Program

Fall River, MA, US • 5 - 9 Employees
Non-Profit

The Katie Brown Educational Program (KBEP) was founded in 2001 in response to the brutal murder of Katherine "Katie" Brown of Barrington, Rhode Island. Katie was only 20 years old when she was killed by the young man she had dated on and off since high school. In order to memorialize Katie's life and honor everyone who has been impacted by relationship violence, we at the KBEP have made it our mission to educate people about this critical issue. The KBEP has developed an innovative and interactive curriculum that is delivered to students in traditional classroom settings in public, private, and parochial schools, as well as in non-traditional settings such as drug courts, jails, group homes, and summer camps. Other services that KBEP offers include professional development for teachers, police officers, and sexual/domestic violence program staff; speaking engagements for large-scale events and conferences; and trainings for college campuses. Based on the belief that education is the foundation and channel for permanent change in attitudes and behaviors, the Katie Brown Educational Program promotes respectful relationships by teaching relationship violence prevention.
