The prevalence rates of domestic and gender-based violence are staggering. They are issues that impact all of us and also issues that many people struggle to understand. The DGBVPI works to raise public awareness and understanding through trainings, social media campaigns, visual displays, workshops, etc. The Initiative also works with various organizations to create prevention strategies that are appropriate for their needs, setting, and population.
The Initiative offers a wide variety of trainings. Our domestic and sexual violence 101 training is offered a few times a year for providers and community members. Additionally, the Initiative partners with organizations to create trainings/workshops tailored to the needs of that organization in regards to domestic and gender based violence.
In the past year the Initiative has conducted trainings with: Mt. Auburn Hospital, My Brother’s Keeper, Hildebrand, and across various city departments.
The Initiative partners with local organizations and City Departments to conduct social media campaigns sharing relevant facts and information about DGBV with the community.
The Initiative works with City Departments and community partners to write informational blog posts to educate city staff on the facts about DGBV and what they can do personally and professionally to address it. Most recently, DGBVPI partnered with Cambridge Public Health Department to share a blog series for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
