Understanding Public Policy to Support a Primary Prevention Framework

Module DESCRIPTION

This module focuses on the importance of public policy and why it is essential to use a social justice approach when developing a primary prevention policy framework to stop domestic and sexual violence. Participants review examples of public and social policies that impact domestic and sexual violence and learn about the stages of the public policy process, helping them understand how public and social policies can stop violence before it starts. Although we use Alberta as a case study, the learning is applicable for anyone who is interested in learning more about how to engage in public policy for social change.
