Prevention In Practice: Exploring the Endless Possibilities of Violence Prevention Programming

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we are exploring the wonderful, creative, and diverse field of gender-based violence prevention at our Prevention in Practice: Exploring the Endless Possibilities of Violence Prevention Programming webinar.

The world of prevention is chock-full of possibilities, both in what programming can look like but also in the positive impact prevention can have. When violence prevention is guided by public health approaches, anti‑oppressive frameworks, and community organizing, it becomes more than a set of strategies; it becomes an opportunity to innovate, strengthen community relationships, and introduce programming that communities may not have previously accessed or engaged with. 

But, what does that mean in practice? What can and does violence prevention actually look like when we get down to brass tacks? 

Join WSCADV / SA Prevention Staff and preventionists from across WA state as we explore different examples of violence prevention programming. From leveraging social media for narrative change, to working collaboratively with other local resource providers, to policy change; the world of prevention is vast and vibrant and full of possibilities! Let’s explore what’s possible together! 

We’re excited and honored to host and feature the work of preventionists from:

• Emergency Support Shelter 
• Malawi Seattle Association
• Kalispel Tribe of Indians
• YWCA Clark County
• Lutheran Community Services NW (Spokane)
