Recognizing that violence is rooted in inequality, and that violence prevention is everybody’s responsibility, the Initiative supports a wide range of prevention and education activities to promote long term social change. In this regard the Initiative is directly tied to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Strategic Social Plan and has a strong emphasis on building partnerships between government and community.

The Initiative fosters partnerships through collaboration with a, Community Advisory Committee, Regional Coordinating Committees, Provincial Organizations and other Community Stakeholders. These committees and organizations encourage an integrated approach to violence prevention leading to early identification of needs, improved communication between service providers and service recipients, greater public awareness and accountability, opportunity for information sharing on best practices, and overall improved efficiency in service delivery.
