OVW Director Cindy Dyer held a web conference to commemorate Domestic Violence Awareness Month and to preview the upcoming OVW-funded campaign to prevent teen dating violence launching in early 2009. The web conference reviewed the research shaping the new campaign, including qualitative research on social norms and dating behaviors among teens.
Esta Soler and Brian O'Connor from the Family Violence Prevention Fund and Jim Therkalsen from R/GA Digital Advertising Agency joined Director Cindy Dyer for an overview of elements of this innovative campaign.
You can view the entire web conference recording, view slides from the presentations, and download handouts from the Prevention Connection website.
