SUMMARY:Starting a new conversation about sexual violence with UW Population Health Institute
DESCRIPTION:Abra Vigna & Olivia Little from UW Population Health Institute will join us to share a new prevention resource \nWhy do we need a new conversation about SV? \nAdvocates\, activists\, and educators continue to struggle to secure local support for evidence-based prevention efforts that go beyond shame and punishment. This past fall\, UWPHI met with advocates and educators to learn what is working and what is not in current efforts to engage communities and heard the need for guidance and revitalized talking points about sexual violence. Come to the webinar to learn about some new resources that try to reframe sexual violence from a rare sickness to a common outcome\, but one that we can understand and change. \n\nWhat is this new resource? \nA revised model and theory of change that is easier to understand than the social ecological model\, less overwhelming than the risk and protective factors model\, and less alarming than the rape culture pyramid. We created a series of visuals to support education work and make the goals for change clear and connected to research. Finally\, we connected concrete strategies to clear goals divided by community readiness. \n\nWhat if I don’t like it? \nThe webinar will include breakouts for participants to provide feedback and further refine the resources. \n\nFor any accessibility needs\, please \ncontact vanessam@wcasa.org by 4/2
