We all play a role in preventing violence & abuse…we can all have an impact!

Preventing violence and abuse across the lifespan requires collaboration, coordination, and cross-sector support. In order to better do that, it is valuable that we understand the shared values we bring to our respective prevention work.

The shared values below were compiled by the Child Abuse Prevention and Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention Work Group of SATF’s statewide Prevention and Education Committee.

The full document with expanded discussion of these values can be found HERE.
