 The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence has released the first of a 7-part series of stories for the new Innovation section of the PreventIPV website. This exciting project features lessons learned from the DELTA FOCUS program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Organized by key themes and released throughout the year, each story will identify promising community- and societal-level strategies to prevent intimate partner violence by influencing the environments and conditions in which people live, work, and play. Under each new story theme, you will find key lessons learned and highlighted strategies, tools for adaptation, highlighted projects, and related resources from DELTA FOCUS grantees that will contribute to our collective learning.

 The story Engaging Youth in IPV Prevention features lessons from five community coalitions funded by four DELTA FOCUS domestic violence coalitions.
Informed by healthy behavior and social norms theories, these stories suggest that prevailing attitudes, culture, and social expectations related to IPV can change through efforts to foster adult-youth mentoring opportunities, a focus on youth leadership development, and support for youth-led media and marketing campaigns. Their approaches focus on building youth’s leadership skills, engaging them in shifting norms related to violence, and strengthening community-level protective factors for IPV.
