Prevention Academy
Join us for an inspiring and practical learning experience rooted in the legacy of Washington State’s trailblazing prevention leaders.
The Prevention Academy equips advocates, educators, and community leaders with tools to create meaningful change, prevent harm, and strengthen communities from the inside out.
Grounded in the wisdom of:
· William A. Lofquist – whose Technology of Prevention framework reframed prevention as the art
of creating conditions where youth and communities thrive.
· Gayle M. Stringer M.A., LMHC – who advanced community-driven strategies for sexual violence
prevention, centering equity and survivor voices.
· Lydia Guy – advancing the spiral of sexual violence and oppression, leading groundbreaking
prevention at Washington Middle School, Seattle Rape Relief, and WCSAP.
Hosted by Rosalinda Noriega – As founder of The Ripple Project, Partners in Prevention Education (PiPE) and long-time community organizer for the prevention of sexual violence, Noriega developed trauma-informed, community-based strategies to support youth experiencing homelessness and other forms of marginalization. Her work demonstrates the importance of holistic prevention models that integrate healing, leadership development, and systemic advocacy.
