Hello and Happy New Year!

 

The Action Alliance would like to say thank you to everyone who attended or even spread the word about ECHO@edu: Campus Violence Prevention over the past 2 years. This was an incredibly valuable space of preventionists sharing knowledge with one another in order to improve sexual and domestic violence prevention initiatives on their campuses and in their communities. Unfortunately, we will not be able to continue offering that space this year. While we are sad to let ECHO@edu go, we would love to share the many campus resources we have and those we have learned about through our connections with all of you.

 

• The Red Flag Campaign materials have been updated over the past year to better reflect the experiences of today’s college students and offer guidance for implementing the campaign on your campuses. For more information and to purchase the campaign, visit https://www.theredflagcampaign.org/
• In our ECHO space we emphasized the value of student leadership and peer education. Our “Transforming Relationships: A Violence Prevention Toolkit for Peer Educators” is free to use and can be accessed at bit.ly/VSDVAA_PeerToolkit 
• Many of the ECHO@edu presentations and shared resources can be found on our community Padlet here: https://padlet.com/ActionAlliancePrevention/echo-at-edu-community-resources-jropwba9cylf8sht
• Our “Best Practices Guides for Virginia Campuses Addressing Gender-Based Violence” can be found here: https://vsdvalliance.org/change-culture/promoting-healthy-campuses/
• For an in-depth resource on primary prevention, check out “Fostering Community Resilience: Virginia’s Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Sexual and Domestic Violence” at https://guidelines.vsdvalliance.org/
• To stay in community with other campus professionals, consider joining Campus Advocacy & Prevention Professionals (CAPPA) at https://www.nationalcappa.org/

 

We wish you all the best!
