Introducing The New Playbook: Standing Strong to Promote Non-Violence

 

On behalf of the Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN) and the Ohio Men’s Action Network (OHMAN), we are excited to share with you our “NEW VIRTUAL Playbook: Standing Strong to Promote Non-Violence an asynchronous learning platform that consists of 10 gender-based violence prevention modules geared toward creating and supporting communities where all people can live free of violence within their relationships, and share in their commitment to respect, safety, and equality. 

 

The purpose of The New Playbook is to enhance the quality of life on campuses by establishing healthier definition of masculinity and healthier norms surrounding gender-based violence. Training participants will each create an Action Plan that will be supported in its implementation by Glenn A. Harris, ODVN’s Assistant Director of Prevention. Each participant will be encouraged to use their new knowledge and skills to influence others and to promote healthy relationships and healthy sexuality.

 

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Define violence and its impact on individuals and communities
  • Recognize behaviors that silently support violence perpetration
  • Understand the necessary qualities for anti-violence leadership within their social networks

 

And will leave the training:

 

  • Equipped with the tools to influence their social networks to prevent violence, and
  • With new opportunities to become involved in the statewide and national movements to end gender-based violence

OHMAN is excited to share our Social Media Campaign: Know Better. Do Better. Be Better. Geared toward creating and supporting communities where all people can live ‘Free of Violence’ within their relationships, and share their commitment to respect, safety, and equality.

 

 

Part of OHMAN’s statewide social media strategy, ‘Know Better. Do Better. Be Better.’  will be supported by sexual and intimate partner violence (S/IPV) prevention messaging in addition to prevention messaging for young men on two Ohio Campuses, Central State University, and Otterbein University.

 

 

Additionally, our friends and partners in the Fatherhood community; the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood (OCF), the Ohio Practitioners Network for Fathers and Families (OPNFF), and Action for Children’s ‘Father Up‘ program, have partnered with OHMAN to enhance the well-being of Ohio’s children by providing opportunities for fathers to become better parents, partners and providers.  OHAMN will be working w/ programs throughout the State to explore how healthy masculinity and gender norms can empower the role of Fathers in our communities.
