Futures Without Violence (FUTURES) is excited to share A Road Map for Ending Domestic Violence in California: A Life Course Approach to Prevention with the ACEs Connection community. The Road Map, a policy paper supported by Blue Shield of California Foundation, draws upon our work at FUTURES as well as research and study on best practices for preventing violence. It presents four evidenced-based prevention and intervention strategies to prevent and end domestic violence in California:
- Support new and young families;
- Ensure that schools are trauma-informed and help young people develop healthy and safe relationships;
- Provide trauma-informed responses and healing to families exposed to violence; and,
- Build economic security to help stabilize and empower families.
The Road Map also outlines 30 federal funding streams that California can leverage and recommendations on the best ways to prioritize these funds to prevent domestic violence and strengthen families, with a focus on advancing equity throughout.
We hope you will share widely and if any of your networks are interested in a more detailed briefing, please let us know.
