As we reflect on the #SAAM2024 theme, we recognize that to build connected communities we must work in solidarity with others. Here is a sneak peek at data from NSVRC’s 2024 National Strengths and Needs Assessment.

Prevention research highlights the potential for prevention strategies and approaches that address multiple forms of violence (Dills et al., 2019).
We have seen some notable changes in how state Rape Prevention and Education recipients are working to connect the dots over the last twelve years (NSVRC, 2023).
