Connecting with Community to Prevent Sexual & Intimate Partner Violence During Crisis: Lessons Learned from Minnesota

Connecting with Community to Prevent Sexual & Intimate Partner Violence During Crisis: Lessons Learned from Minnesota

Nov162021

From 2:00 PM until 3:30 PM ET

Presented by PreventConnect / info@preventconnect.org

During the prolonged COVID-19 crisis, sexual and intimate partner violence prevention practitioners have come to appreciate community connectedness as a protective factor against multiple forms of violence, including sexual and intimate partner violence. Making the connections between sexual and intimate partner violence prevention and community connectedness can be difficult, as there aren’t as many resources in this area of prevention as there are for others. Join PreventConnect and preventionists from Minnesota to discuss how they envision community connectedness as a protective factor against sexual and intimate partner violence across the socioecological model, and how this enabled them to identify new avenues for strengthened partnerships.

OBJECTIVES

  • Describe the impacts of community connectedness as protective factor against sexual and intimate partner violence
  • Identify the impacts of community connectedness across the socioecological model and as it relates to addressing systemic harms and oppression
  • Discuss opportunities for promoting community connectedness to prevent sexual and intimate partner violence, and for new or strengthened partnerships
