Viewing Sexual Violence Prevention from a Culturally Informed Perspective

In this free training, Dr. Alexander—an expert in culturally informed practices and policies—shares valuable lessons learned and explores future directions in the treatment and prevention of violence, particularly with respect to culturally informed assessment and treatment. Among her key messages are:

• Violence and abuse are preventable
• Assessment, treatment, and policy must be tailored to the cultural backgrounds of each client
• Committing to ongoing communication with other professionals, policymakers, and communities about what works to prevent abuse will help to make our programs more effective
• Person-centered language is an important component of culturally informed practice.

In particular, Dr. Alexander examines the current landscape of culturally informed practice and discusses how we can be more open to the cultural differences that make our communities different for the purpose of building services even more effective and impactful. She also addresses how we assess and treat individuals who have engaged in abusive behavior, and how we communicate with other professionals and policymakers about these processes and our clients.
