The goal of Hamilton County Health Department’s Sexual Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) is to prevent sexual violence before it occurs. SVPP uses a public health approach that focuses on protecting Hamilton County residents by:
· Changing societal norms to ones that don’t tolerate sexual violence through education and recognition of attitudes and behaviors that contribute to the normalization of sexual violence.
· Providing trainings, workshops, and seminars about healthy relationship development.
· Increasing skill-building for respectful peer-to-peer and intimate relationships.
· Building organizational and community capacity for the prevention of sexual violence.
