ENVISION - THE PREVENTION CONFERENCE
On June 25-26, 2024, over 250 guests joined us in Washington, D.C. for Envision 2024 – The Future of Prevention. It was an inspiring, challenging, and motivating two days of conference featuring the latest research, practice, and experience in the prevention of child sexual abuse.
We’ll be sharing reflections from attendees and other highlights in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you joined us in DC, please keep an eye out for a feedback survey in your inbox – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
