DELTA's Multi-Level Approach
Because Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is so pervasive in our culture, it is necessary to approach prevention in a multi-faceted manner. CCRs engaging in IPV prevention need to involve people from throughout the community so that the work incorporates the beliefs, attitudes, resources, and skills that are truly representative of the local community. The CCR itself must expand so that its membership includes a broader cross-section of the community to include schools, neighborhoods, businesses, youth groups, clergy, and ranching associations.Although only five communities will have the advantage of the additional funding for engaging in this prevention work, Montana's other CCRs and communities will have access to training and technical assistance in the development of their local CCR's prevention focus (or in adding a prevention focus.)
