Engage Program

Care. Make an Impact. Commit to Community.

Engage is a multi-level violence prevention program, created by Missouri Partners in Prevention with support from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Office on Women’s Health in collaboration with the Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. The aim of the work of Missouri Partners in Prevention and our partners, was to create a multi-level violence prevention strategy that is both accessible and adaptable and have fidelity to the model that is created. The strategy that we’ve developed frames bystander behavior within the context of community and sense of belonging.

Engage includes an online training module for campuses to use as well as overview and deeper dive presentations to be facilitated with students and other audiences.

The goal of this project is the creation of a multi-level violence prevention strategy for use by institutions of higher education within Missouri that focuses on encouraging a culture of care and a desire to engage in preventing potentially harmful situations.

The following are those components that will be delivered throughout the project:

  1.  Intervention training program
  2. Online training for students
  3. Community-level violence prevention elements

This project also aims to be accessible and adaptable for each individual institution of higher education, framing bystander behavior within the context of community connection and a sense of belonging. Overall, the focus is on the following take-aways:

  1. Why you should care/intervene (i.e., civic responsibility, bystander effect)
  2. How you can show care/intervene
  3. How to apply a variety of approaches
  4. How your different identities might influence your ability/willingness to show care/intervene
  5. What resources are available
