Alaska Network On Domestic Violence And Sexual Assault Inc

Advocacy Project Community service providers and advocates for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault continue to identify training and technical assistance as key components necessary to ensure universal best practices are readily available to community service providers serving families throughout Alaska. ANDVSA training and technical assistance ensures advocates and providers are prepared to respond to the complex safety, advocacy and legal needs of Alaskan families impacted by domestic and sexual violence.

Prevention Project Research shows that successful strategies for bringing about change rely heavily on prevention, instead of solely on intervention activities. Primary prevention activities focus on taking action before there is a threat of violence in intimate or dating relationships. Primary prevention efforts foster change in social norms and in environments, in order to promote healthy relationships and sexuality. Primary prevention also works with individuals to reduce risk and enhance protective factors.
