One way we describe an integral practice in primary prevention is to water your roots deep. Which means that the prevention work you do should exist deeply in the places that you would like to make the greatest impact. For this training we will be discussing how to weave primary prevention into your community and the institutions that make this work possible. We will examine ways to sprinkle primary prevention throughout your agency and make connections with the institutions you would like to work closely with. This training is intended for prevention staff, agency leadership, and community partners.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:
-Formulate a shared vision and develop a strategic plan for their agency’s prevention efforts with their colleagues (leadership and/or grant writers).
-Discuss the common goals they share with preventionists from other agencies for ending sexual and domestic violence across the state.
-Describe effective prevention programming and describe a vision of community-level prevention for their agency.
-Understand how to apply strategies from the 2nd primary prevention guideline in “Fostering Community Resilience” titled “Institutionalized in Organizational Culture.”
-Use tools and models they received to support their efforts of institutionalizing prevention into their organization.
