ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
The Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance is excited to
sponsor a 2-day conference addressing the primary prevention of sexual and
intimate partner violence. This conference will showcase innovative primary
prevention projects from across North America, as well as highlighting
Virginia-based prevention initiatives.

All of our national speakers and most of our Virginia-based speakers will
showcase programs and concepts consistent with promising practices in the
primary prevention of sexual and intimate partner violence (SV/IPV). In
practice, the primary prevention of SV/IPV means promoting factors
associated with healthy relationships and healthy sexuality, and
counteracting factors associated with initial perpetration. The workshops at
this conference will discuss and demonstrate numerous characteristics of
effective primary prevention strategies.

Who should attend? Public health professionals, sexual assault
coaltion/crisis center staff, domestic violence coaltion/program staff,
child abuse prevention and treatment professionals, school resource
officers, teachers, juvenile justice professionals, youth
development/youth-serving professionals, counselors/therapists,
psychologists, and anyone else interested in learning strategies to prevent
intimate partner violence and sexual violence!
