PREVENT Workshop: Moving Towards Violence Prevention


Why teams? Who makes up a team and how do they function?
Multi-organizational teams of 3 to 5 people who work at the state and/or community level who want to work together to prevent violence are encouraged to participate in this training. Your team can focus on the prevention of sexual violence, intimate partner violence, youth violence child abuse, and/or suicide. We also encourage you to consider new partners from other areas of violence to work on a program or program enhancement that prevents first-time perpetration or victimization.

Your team might include (but not be limited to) members from the following types of organizations:
state health department
other state agencies
state coalition
local service or advocacy agency
law enforcement
schools and colleges (administration, instruction, guidance & health)
health care
mental health, counseling & drug & alcohol services
child protection & social services
family planning
faith community
advocacy for special populations (communities of color, persons with disabilities, youth, elders,     GLBT and many more)
local business & corporations
media
many other creative partners in your community who want to work on violence prevention.
The key criterion for who comprises a team is a group who want to work together after the training to apply the skills and work on an activity to prevent violence.


What will the team do during and after the workshop?
During the workshop your team will work together on small-group activities including case studies and other exercises and begin to develop an action plan for a prevention project or enhancementof an existing plan on yoru specific project. After the workshop, your team will continue to develop and implement that plan, using the resources and contacts provided during the training and on the
PREVENT website.
