PreventConnect 2012 Web Conferences: Connect for Success

PreventConnect is pleased to announce its 2012 web conference series titled "Connect for Success: Enhancing impact through innovative partnerships."

Below are dates and topics for PreventConnect web conferences.

Success in the field of sexual and domestic violence prevention has always required partnerships. This year we will focus on innovative relationships or "connections" that enhance the reach and impact of sexual and domestic violence prevention efforts. Five types of opportunities will be examined with regard to their distinct challenges, success and potential for collaborative work.

During the web conference participants will learn and share via candid discussion with peers and national experts. Join us as we explore the connect in PreventConnect. PreventConnect web conferences are free online interactive events for prevention practitioners, researchers and funders to explore how to advance the prevention of sexual violence, domestic violence and teen dating violence. Each session has presenters and practitioner guests (to be announced) along with hundreds of members of the PreventConnect community.
