The ways we talk about prevention matter. Strong relationships, trust, and shared understanding are at the center of preventing sexual and intimate partner violence, yet the language we use as professionals doesn’t always match what resonates in communities.
This session explores how to talk about prevention in ways that feel clear, relatable, and grounded in real life. Join PreventConnect to explore how language shapes understanding, learn how to simplify complex ideas without losing meaning, and how to communicate in ways that reflect the values of safety, belonging, and collaboration.
Together, we’ll practice creating messages that help community partners, program participants, and local leaders see themselves in the work and feel invited to be part of it.
