Prevention Then and Now: Reflections from Long-Time Practitioners with Tonjie Reese, Part 1

Welcome to the 20th Anniversary of PreventConnect! 

In this podcast,  Tonjie Reese sits down with PreventConnect’s Ashleigh Klein-Jimenez. Tonjie was drawn to violence prevention serendipitously through a theater class she enrolled in during high school and is now the founder of Eleven24, a program that provides training and education to prevent teen dating violence.

Listen in as Tonjie and Ashleigh talk about how she came into prevention work through theater, meeting youth where they are, and the power of storytelling to increase violence prevention in this first half of a two-part episode!
