💙💜Prevention is Possible💜💙
Prevention is more than raising awareness. It’s teaching healthy relationships, respecting boundaries, understanding consent, recognizing warning signs, practicing bystander intervention, and speaking up when something isn’t right.

Prevention happens in our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. It happens when we teach young people what respect looks like. It happens when we challenge harmful behaviors and attitudes. And it happens when we remind others that everyone deserves relationships built on safety, equality, trust, and respect.

💜 Because prevention doesn’t start after violence happens.
Prevention is Powerful. Prevention Starts With YOU!!

As we enter the last week of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we want to shift our focus toward something that has the power to create lasting change: PREVENTION.

Prevention is more than raising awareness. It’s teaching healthy relationships, respecting boundaries, understanding consent, recognizing warning signs, practicing bystander intervention, and speaking up when something isn’t right.

Prevention happens in our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. It happens when we teach young people what respect looks like. It happens when we challenge harmful behaviors and attitudes. And it happens when we remind others that everyone deserves relationships built on safety, equality, trust, and respect.

Throughout this final week, FCIC will be sharing information about prevention and the role each of us can play in creating safer communities.

💜 Because prevention doesn’t start after violence happens. Prevention is Powerful. Prevention Starts With YOU.
