TEN MEN: A RHODE ISLAND ENGAGEMENT GROUP

The domestic violence movement has grown and changed over the last 30 years, and perhaps one of the more interesting developments over that time, has been the efforts to engage men in the fight against the violence. The Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence (RIADV) has found one way to encourage this is to annually recruit men in the community to advocate for the Coalition and against domestic violence. The Ten Men program combines education, media, and ongoing engagement to create a continually growing, dedicated cadre of men.

Krista D'Amico is the Director of Prevention at the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence (RICADV), and Lucy Rios, is deputy director there. D’Amico coordinates initiatives to prevent intimate partner violence before it starts while Rios coordinates prevention-focused strategies funded through various iterations of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention DELTA Programs, creating notable initiatives to mobilize bystanders such as Ten Men.

Join us as both women talk about the Ten Men program and the success it has achieved in Rhode Island.
