Prevention Then and Now: A Fresh Voice with Alex Pecoraro, Part 1

Welcome to the 20th Anniversary of PreventConnect! Today, Ashleigh Klein-Jimenez sits down with Alex Pecoraro, the Prevention Strategist at the Nebraska Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence. Although Alex proclaims she is still “new,” she started her journey in prevention work as a peer educator in college, taking the skills and topics she learned into her local direct service advocacy and, now, coalition-level work. Alex and Ashleigh discuss trauma-informed prevention, tailoring strategies to community realities, and how coalitions can support local communities and leadership. Listen in to the first half of Alex’s two-part episode!
