Violence Prevention

Together, we can end interpersonal violence.



The Violence Prevention program (formerly the Healthy Relationships Team, HEART) consists of a Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) at Edmonds College and in the community in order to respond to and ultimately reduce sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking — also known as interpersonal violence.
