The Partnership for Violence Free Families (PVFF), a comprised group of 50 individuals representing over 30 agencies, organizations, businesses and schools in the Lima and Allen County, Ohio area., is a program located at Lima/Allen Council on Community Affairs (LACCA), was created through a grant awarded by the Anthem Foundation of Ohio. After two years of strategic planning, the PVFF set their goals to prevent family violence through several initiatives:
the ACT Against Violence Program, the CAP Program, Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, and Safe DATES.
Parents, teachers, and students participate in a variety of activities to understand these important messages. The faith-based community is also involved in bringing these programs to the community.
