Join IVAT in Breaking the Cycle of Violence
To break the cycle of violence the
Stop Abuse Campaign is
actively recruiting America’s adults to join the Stop Abuse movement
and to help support the Campaign’s three primary strategies to stop
abuse:
1) Educating all adults on how to create safe environments for themselves and those who they love.
2) Providing easy access to enhanced mental health treatment and advocacy to all survivors who need it.
3) Ensuring all abuse is reported into the system and effectively handled.
"If we do only these three things we can substantially stop abuse, but to do these three things we have to recruit America to the cause - and that’s up to each and every one of us. We can do that if we all work together to stop abuse" says Andrew Willis. "So we have a choice, we can stop abuse or condemn our children and all victims to another generation of suffering".
"It is time for all organizations, agencies, survivors, activists, advocates, researchers, frontline practitioners, and others to work together in a unified effort to make this a national priority. The time is now," said Robert Geffner, co-chair of the National Partnership to End Interpersonal Violence (NPEIV), and President of the Institute on Violence, Abuse & Trauma (IVAT) at Alliant International University.
The Stop Abuse Campaign is a grassroots movement formed in collaboration with other organizations and causes that share a similar mission. We know that it’s going to take all of us working together to stop abuse and that’s why we provide half of our unallocated revenues in grants to support all participating organizations. The Stop Abuse Campaign is a registered 501(c) 3 organization.
