Sport is Part of the Solution to End Sexual and Domestic Violence

With millions of young people participating in sport every year, sport is uniquely positioned to take action toward ending sexual and domestic violence.  Sport develops young people by teaching skills, values, and practices, which can get to the root causes of  sexual and domestic violence  to prevent it.

Speakers Alan Heisterkamp of the  University of Northern Iowa, Valencia Peterson of  Open Door Abuse Awareness & Prevention  and   Ward Urion of  LifeWire  will share how they have been able to develop partnerships with school programs, coaches and athletes to help implement prevention strategies in athletics.
