PACT in Action (Parkhill, Algonquin & California Teens in Action) is a teen dating violence prevention initiative of The Center for Women & Families and KentuckyOne Health. PACT in Action is a community-based, youth-led initiative focused on the PAC neighborhoods (the 40210 zip code). PACT in Action aims to mobilize teens in these neighborhoods to achieve a 10 percent reduction in the incidence of domestic violence by the year 2020. PACT in Action will achieve this goal by:
  • Equipping youth with the knowledge and skills necessary to support and lead efforts to reduce teen dating violence in the 40210 area
  • Increasing the engagement and accessibility of caring adults toward a reduction in teen dating violence
  • Enhancing youth and adult community members’ knowledge, skills and engagement to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors in the built environment which would support a reduction in teen dating violence
