Building Strong Communities
Organizations across our region play a vital role in protecting children and supporting survivors. Through the Lotus Community Partners in Prevention initiative, schools, nonprofits, healthcare providers, faith communities, and civic groups work together to expand prevention, increase awareness, and strengthen support systems.
Join the growing network of organizations committed to prevention.
Why Community Partnership Matters
Child abuse and sexual violence impact every part of the community — from families and schools to healthcare systems and neighborhoods.
Prevention is most effective when trusted organizations are equipped to recognize risk, respond to concerns, and support survivors. Community Partners help create safer environments, stronger support systems, and more connected responses across the region.
What It Means to Be a Community Partner in Prevention
Community Partners integrate prevention into the places people already live, learn, and receive care.
Partners may:
- Host prevention education for staff, students, or members
- Share Lotus resources with families and communities
- Collaborate on awareness campaigns and outreach
- Support survivor advocacy and trauma-informed services
- Join the annual Turn It Blue & Teal Campaign
- Participate in the Sexual Assault Interagency Council (SAIC)
