Prevention Community of Practice: From Talk to Action: How to effectively communicate about prevention

Description

Join us for an engaging Community of Practice conversation with Luke Malone, an award-winning journalist and producer who has spent the last 15 years reporting on sexual harm and prevention.

Luke will explore why prevention isn’t just the job of specialists—it’s the responsibility of everyone in the room, including those providing direct services to survivors. Drawing from his upcoming book, One in Five, and his work reframing prevention through unexpected but powerful parallels (think: how we talk about car crashes and public safety), Luke will challenge how we communicate about sexual harm—and why that communication matters.

This session will also dig into real-world hurdles to prevention work, with space for open discussion, reflection, and shared problem-solving. Expect thoughtful insights, practical reframes, and a conversation that expands how we think about prevention as a collective effort.
