Strong Foundation – Stronger Futures

Join us for Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month!

Our 2025 theme, Strong Foundations – Stronger Futures, highlights the importance of personal development based on the 40 Developmental Assets® Framework, created by the Search Institute. Research shows young people need these positive life experiences and qualities to grow into successful, thriving, and contributing members of their community.

DVAP Month 2025 focuses on the internals assets – the personal skills, commitments, and values that young people need to make good choices, take responsibility for their own lives, and be independent and fulfilled. Building a strong foundation gives children the confidence and resilience to make positive decisions. It also helps eliminate risky behaviors that can lead to abuse.
