Primary prevention is about stopping violence before it starts by changing the conditions that allow it to happen in the first place. Some might say, going "upstream" to intervene with people at highest risk for causing or experiencing harm. Primary prevention seeks to prevent individuals from becoming victims or perpetrators of domestic violence and/or sexual violence by using strategies that create healthy relationships and environments. For example, our 3 Strands curriculum teaches interactive, age-appropriate lessons covering online safety, healthy relationships, boundaries, and exploitation awareness.

This May, we are taking the time to recognize the people who make this work possible through their consistency, care, and willingness to show up. Volunteers donate their time and energy expecting nothing in return. This fiscal year alone, we have had folks from Vortex Volleyball Club, National Charity League, Zion's Bank, WorldPay, Serve Park City, and so many more come to our campus to help make our space as safe and inviting as possible.

Evidence shows that children’s early experiences impact them throughout life, both positively and negatively. Kids raised in safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments are more likely to enjoy good physical and mental health plus succeed academically and socially. Children who grow up happy and healthy also go on to contribute to economic prosperity for everyone. Child abuse and neglect prevention is possible.

In the U.S., abuse and disability impact a sizable percentage of the population— 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men are subjected to domestic violence throughout their lifetime, and roughly a quarter of all adults have a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities.

At Peace House, we know that healing is not one-size-fits-all. For some, it’s rebuilding a sense of safety. For others, it’s reclaiming independence, reconnecting with family, or rediscovering joy.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (#DVAM) is a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence. Every October, organizations and individuals unite across the country for a national effort to uplift the needs, voices, and experiences of survivors. Congress declared the month of October to be Domestic Violence Awareness Month in 1989.

We are excited to share that Peace House has launched a brand new website! We would like to share a huge thank you to Declarative for all of their hard work throughout this process - we truly could not have done it without their exceptional team.
