This toolkit has been designed to be both a resource and a guide for anyone in the state of Oregon who is interested in preventing violence. As the main focus of SATF’s work is preventing sexual violence, there is a specific focus on this in this toolkit. We know however, that if we are effectively addressing the root causes of sexual violence, we are also addressing the root causes of other forms of violence as well. Informed by preventionists and other professionals all across the state, the goal of this toolkit is to support effective and thoughtful efforts, that collaboratively work to prevent violence and abuse across the life span. It combines public health theory, current best practices, and tips from state and national partners. While we recommend moving through the workbook chronologically, you can also move through each section independently, gaining insight and inspiration for current strengths and challenges.
