Partners in Prevention

L.I. Against Domestic Violence and the Retreat and are working together on the Partners in Prevention Program: Communities working together to prevent sexual violence towards youth, through a grant from the Department of Health. Our goal is to work with community organizations to build collaboration and increase knowledge about bystander intervention strategies.  From this knowledge, our Coalition: Partners in Prevention will help create policies and procedures toward sustainable change over time to reduce sexual violence in our community.

The initial focus of grant work is to recruit stakeholders involved in the foster care community, organizations serving youth with developmental disabilities, and those providing youth with substance abuse services.
