PreventIPV Website Launches
This month, IPV Prevention Council's PreventIPV.org went online. The  website allows browsers to learn more about the primary prevention of intimate partner violence; explore the impact that robust and sustainable prevention efforts can have on our culture; find user-generated tools that can be adapted in your community; and stay current on happenings of note in the prevention field. Another section is coming soon, which NCDSV staff are helping to develop. It will permit users to discover lessons learned from innovative and ground-breaking primary prevention initiatives across the country.
Mark your calendars to learn more about PreventIPV.org:
 June 18 (3 pm ET) Twitter Chat, facilitated by the National Online Resource Center on Violence Against Women, hosts include national prevention partners and members of the IPV Prevention Council (NCDSV's Debby Tucker and Rus Funk are members of the Steering Committee for the IPV Prevention Council).
