FINAL - SATF Prevention Toolkit V2.0 - Online

4 Oregon AGSATF
Prevention Toolkit
HOW TO USE THIS TOOLKIT
Violence is preventable and we all play a role and have a responsibility in preventing it. This workbook
is just one tool in a vast library that helps us think about how we can most effectively prevent violence.
This toolkit has been designed to be both a resource and
a guide for anyone in the state of Oregon who is interested
in preventing violence. As the main focus of SATF’s work is
preventing sexual violence, there is a specific focus on this
in this toolkit. We know however, that if we are effectively
addressing the root causes of sexual violence, we are also
addressing the root causes of other forms of violence as
well. Informed by preventionists and other professionals all
across the state, the goal of this toolkit is to support
effective and thoughtful efforts, that collaboratively work to
prevent violence and abuse across the life span. It combines
public health theory, current best practices, and tips from
state and national partners. While we recommend moving
through the workbook chronologically, you can also move
through each section independently, gaining insight and
inspiration for current strengths and challenges.
SUPPORT FROM SATF
We recognize that each individual, organization, institution,
and community throughout Oregon has unique needs and
expertise that they bring to their prevention efforts. For this
reason, SATF serves as an ongoing resource to folks
interested in and working to prevent violence and abuse. We
do this through developing resources and tools, answering
technical questions and requests for support, as well as
supporting and facilitating various learning communities.
Some of these include SATF committees like Prevention and
Education, Campus, Men’s Engagement, Offender
Management, Medical Forensic, Legislative and Public Policy,
Criminal Justice, and Advocacy Response. We also
facilitate several working groups like the Campus Prevention
Work Group and the Sexual Health Work Group. To access
all of the resources and participate in any of these or other
SATF learning communities, please contact SATF at
taskforce@oregonsatf.org. Your commitment to ending
violence fuels us and our work.
