Holly’s House Promotes Sisson to Lead Prevention Educator
Holly’s House, a non-residential, victim advocacy center serving victims of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault in southwest Indiana has promoted Crystal Sisson to Lead Prevention Educator. Holly’s House was established in 2008 using the model for Children’s Advocacy Centers developed by the National Children’s Alliance. In 2010 an evidence based child abuse prevention program, “Think First & Stay Safe,†was implemented, and since that time the program has been presented to over 25,300 elementary students in five Southwest Indiana counties. “Think First & Stay Safe,†teaches children about general safety, and how to recognize the lures that predators may use when grooming a child. This program, as with all other services is offered by Holly’s House with no fee charged to the participants.
Sidney Hardgrave, Holly’s House Executive Director, said “We are fortunate to have Crystal as our Lead Prevention Educator. Since joining us in 2013, Crystal has had a great attitude and has been very conscientious in her work. More importantly, she recognizes that each classroom is unique, and she is able to adjust her presentation to accommodate students so they understand, and retain the lessons being taught.â€
Mrs. Sisson has been a prevention educator for Holly’s House for the past three years. She is a Mt. Vernon (Indiana) High School graduate. In 2004 she completed a B.S. degree from the University of Evansville. Mrs. Sisson and her husband have two sons and reside in Evansville.
Holly’s House is a non-residential victims’ advocacy center providing services for victims of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault in southwest Indiana. The mission of the organization is to empower victims of intimate crime and abuse by providing support, promoting justice and preventing violence.
                 Our vision is to be a leader in preventing intimate crime and supporting victims and their families, while bringing awareness to the community.
