Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to stop intimate partner violence before it begins through prevention, education, awareness, and research initiatives.

We serve as a catalyst of change by creating programming content, spearheading initiatives, and supporting efforts with defined outcomes that (1) prevent interpersonal violence, with emphasis and focus on primary prevention, (2) provide educational opportunities and curriculum for youth, young adults, employers, and other community groups, (3) promote awareness amongst these populations, and (4) provide credible research for the exploration of innovative methods and best practices that prevent or end interpersonal violence.

According to the Center for Disease Control, “The mission is stopping IPV before it begins. There is a lot to learn about how to prevent IPV. We do know that strategies that promote healthy behaviors in relationships are important. Programs that teach young people how to establish and maintain healthy romantic relationships can help adolescents develop into well-functioning adults with healthy adult
relationships" (Office of Population Affairs, 2022). We are leading the way in this effort.

We are currently leading prevention-focused educational modules in local high schools as well as communities through our Courage Clubs. We are also funding research being done regarding intimate partner violence.
