Creative Preventionist Training for Your Team

We'll teach your team the Creative Preventionist Model: how to spark interest, shift behaviors, and get new prevention norms to stick in your community. This is the perfect training to energize and inspire your team, and develop a strategic action plan to implement throughout the year.

Is your team grappling with questions like these?

  • How can we get people to care?

  • How can we increase our programming attendance?

  • How can we craft messaging that reaches our community, and connects to their values and identities?

  • How can we increase prevention-based behaviors?

We built our training to answer these exact questions.

  • “The RVCC staff are experts in this field of campus violence prevention, and it was such a privilege to work with them. The [capacity building] program has made my prevention work a lot easier. I am spending less time creating materials because of all the brilliant ideas and tangible tools RVCC has provided us. It has been a big time-saver and fun to use the creative resources. All the models and strategies shared helped me see how we can actually shift the culture around sexual violence at our individual campus. It gave me a new framework to work with, and I'm already seeing the impact.”
