Welcome to the General Capacity Assessment for Violence Prevention

This capacity assessment will ask about your organization's leadership, staffing, resources, skills, partnerships, and information currently in place to support a public health approach to violence prevention.

This assessment is not specific to one type of violence. It can be used to assess capacity in any organization with a mission or programs dedicated to preventing sexual violence, intimate partner violence, youth violence, teen dating violence, or child abuse and neglect.

The assessment will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Once you complete it, you will have the opportunity to save or print a PDF of the results and your responses.
