"Funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the FVPF set out to learn from programs and systems that are using community mobilization strategies to prevent and reduce family violence. This handbook distills learnings about organizing at the community level and provides advice culled from the experiences of site leaders and other seasoned organizers. It is intended for anyone who wants to initiate or expand family violence prevention work, including agencies addressing family and community health, community development groups, and grassroots leaders. It includes information on getting started, strategies for effective engagement, advice on funding a project, and information on measuring a project's effectiveness."--PUBLISHER'S ABSTRACT
