Today's guests are Riley Kavanagh and Emily Provencher from New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence (NHCADSV), and Morgan Browne and Bridget Lyle from New Beginnings. In this episode of Better Together, we explore the importance of preventing domestic and sexual violence and the role education, awareness, and community support play in creating safer environments for everyone. We discuss how prevention efforts can reach people of all ages, from young children in school settings to adults in their homes and communities. Together, we take a closer look at how early education can help children recognize healthy relationships, understand boundaries, and develop the tools to build safe and respectful connections. We also discuss how adults, families, schools, and community organizations can help raise awareness, recognize warning signs, challenge harmful behaviors, and create spaces where people feel supported and heard. Prevention starts with conversations, education, and a willingness to take action. Whether it’s learning how to talk about healthy relationships at home, supporting prevention programs in schools, or connecting with local resources, there are meaningful steps we can all take to help prevent domestic and sexual violence. Tune in to learn how individuals and communities can work together to build a culture of safety, respect, and support.
