The Roadmap to Talking About Perpetration Prevention is a resource developed by the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse (ATSA) to guide professionals in effectively communicating about their work in preventing sexual abuse. The document emphasizes the importance of framing discussions around the goal of eliminating sexual violence through evidence-based intervention, treatment, and prevention strategies.

Key topics covered include:

• Framing Conversations: Suggestions for introducing the work of ATSA members in a way that fosters understanding and engagement.
• Prevention Approaches: Strategies for working with individuals at risk of causing sexual harm and those who have already offended to reduce recidivism and protect communities.
• Collaboration and Advocacy: Encouragement to work with community advocates, victim support organizations, and policymakers to promote a comprehensive prevention strategy.
• Practical Guidance: Tips for ATSA members on engaging in conversations about prevention, partnering with other organizations, and sharing their expertise to advance public understanding and policy.

This roadmap serves as a critical tool for professionals in the field, equipping them with language and strategies to build support for perpetration prevention efforts while fostering a more informed and proactive approach to reducing sexual abuse.
