Check out the newest edition of the Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance’s prevention newsletter Moving Upstream. They will continue to share insights about prevention practice while coordinating with other national prevention efforts.

In an attempt to pool resources and create a national primary prevention community around sexual and intimate partner violence issues, much of our content will now reference the impressive repository of information at PreventConnect. If you’re not already familiar with them, PreventConnect is a national project of the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CALCASA) with funding from the CDC.

Glad to continue to support this great resource. The newest issue has articles about prevention work on college campuses.
