Local DELTA Projects
A core element of primary prevention of domestic and dating violence is helping people change. We offer new information, shift ways of thinking and attitudes, and ask people to act differently.
Four local Wisconsin domestic violence and community-based programs have been working through the CDC-funded DELTA primary prevention project to create programs to help people change. Each program focuses on a specific group in their community:
|
|
Youth Action Committee|
GMVP (Greek Men in Violence Prevention) |
M.E.N.S (Men Encouraging Non-Violent Strength) Club|
|
Discovery Dating@ |
Bringing Families Together to Build Healthy Relationships |
WCADV would like to make materials available to anyone seeking to learn about working with these populations toward social change and prevention.
