Newsletters

This issue of the PreventIPV newsletter highlights resources for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Resources feature a particular focus on promoting healing in our communities, holding space, and centering survivors in our prevention efforts.

This issue of the PreventIPV newsletter highlights resources for SAAM and Black Maternal Health Week 2023, as well as our newly released DELTA FOCUS story. Resources center strategies for building partnerships to advance equity.  We must follow the lead of Black visionaries doing this work. As the National Sexual Violence Resource Center reminds us, prevention demands equity.

Creating a world free from violence requires us to boldly and unapologetically confront and dismantle white supremacy, anti-Blackness, and other forms of oppression. This issue of the PreventIPV newsletter highlights upcoming events and new resources that push us to be bolder in our work to end gender-based violence.

This issue of the PreventIPV newsletter features resources and upcoming events that highlight the importance of centering the lived experiences, voices, and leadership of Black women in our work. Doing this will create healthy environments for people to live and be themselves while learning, working, loving, worshiping, playing, and gracefully aging.

As we look back on Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence reflects on the National Sexual Violence Resource Center's call to build safe online spaces that are free from harassment and abuse. As more of our time is spent in virtual spaces, we have seen how online communities can be a powerful tool to promote connectedness, activism, and healing justice. This issue of the PreventIPV newsletter features tools that highlight community building as a key strategy for prevention. It includes resources to promote connection and care by building communities that foster healing, resilience, and joy, both online and off.

"We need to build an entirely new table with all the communities we want to serve.” – Cecily Johnson, Domestic Violence Network

This issue of the PreventIPV newsletter offers inspiration for moving forward, sharing takeaways and action steps from recent national gatherings and observances including the National Prevention Town Hall and Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2020.

"A healing-centered approach to addressing trauma requires a different question that moves beyond 'what happened to you' to 'what’s right with you' and views those exposed to trauma as agents in the creation of their own well-being rather than victims of traumatic events." – Dr. Shawn Ginwright

The Spring 2020 Issue of the PreventIPV Newsletter features resources that center healing and nurturing relationships as critical prevention strategies.
