Prevention as Everyone's Responsibility
Launch library · evergreen read
Prevention is not the job of any single group, it belongs to families, schools, workplaces, and communities all working together toward the very same shared goal. This is worth modelling consistently, not only occasionally when convenient. It shapes the culture that everyone eventually grows up within. This is a quiet but meaningful contribution to a safer community overall.
Everyone has a role to play, whether that is a small everyday habit or a larger, deliberate effort made within an organisation or community group. It matters just as much in small settings as in larger ones. This holds true across generations, even as attitudes continue to shift. This is a habit worth passing on to the next generation.
1800RESPECT is on 1800 737 732, and Lifeline is on 13 11 14, both available any hour for anyone who wants to be part of that effort. Taking that first step counts for a great deal, however small it feels. You do not have to work through this entirely on your own.
