Since 2005, Prevention Connection has provided an online resource on prevention of violence against women. Through its activities, Prevention Connection seeks to bring together a community of practitioners, researchers and funders to advance prevention efforts. We are conducting an online survey to find-out how members of the prevention community have been impacted by our work. This survey should take approximately ten to fifteen minutes to complete, and all responses will be kept confidential.

Click here to take the survey.

As a thank you for participating, one hundred random respondents will receive a 1 GB flash drive with the Prevention Connection logo.

A few spaces are still available for our next web conference on May 5th, and more spaces are available for our repeat sesssion on May 7th. Both conferences will start at 11 AM Pacific / 2 PM Eastern, and will address the Role of Leadership in Creating Momentum for Primary Prevention of Violence Against Women. This web conference will present an interactive discussion of the role of leadership in linking primary prevention principles with movement-building and violence against women prevention efforts, and the steps needed to move from conceptualization to actualization of these principles within the movement.

PreventConnect tweets highlight the themes of prevention work and the morsels of ideas that reach us each day. In the last week, we shared concepts from a presentation by Joe Ehrmann, referred to an article about hegemonic masculinity in Star Wars, and tweeted about using interactive response technology (clickers) in prevention presentations. You can also view our most recent tweets in the side bar of our blog.
