What kind of prevention efforts are
underway in Indiana?
One example would be that of Crisis Connection,
Inc. (CCI). CCI serves a five-county area in south-
ern Indiana, conducting prevention programs across
levels in their served community to reinforce the adop-
tion of healthy relationship behaviors at the individ-
ual level.
The Social Ecological Model
Society: Advocates from CCI participate on the
Indiana’s Sexual Violence Primary Prevention
Council to help form prevention strategy and
policy across the state. See:
http://www.in.gov/isdh/23820.htm
Community: The agency educates the commu-
nity with effective presentations about healthy
relationships, then conducts social marketing
campaigns to support that message.
Relationship: CCI initiated the
Natural Helpers campaign to pro-
vide peer based support.
Individual: CCI provides
sustained, evidence-
informed healthy relation-
ship education to students
from kindergarten
through graduation.
