Promoting Relationships & Eliminating Violence Network (PREVNet) is a national research and knowledge mobilization hub focused on youth relationship problems such as bullying and teen dating violence. PREVNET is a collaborative project comprising of 130 researchers from 30 academic institutions and 60 youth-serving organizations. This collaboration aims to address and reduce youth interpersonal violence and promote healthy relationships through assessment and promotion of evidence-based based prevention methods. 

​

Through this unique partnership model, PREVNet connects research, practice, and policy to foster healthy relationships among children and youth. Its work focuses on four key strategies: education, assessment, intervention, and policy. Together, these efforts build the capacity of adults and organizations supporting youth by co-creating and sharing evidence-based resources, training, and programs. ​PREVNet continues to expand awareness, strengthen research capacity, and promote effective policies that reduce bullying, address teen dating violence, and contribute to an equitable, caring society where young people thrive.

​

Co-founded by Dr. Wendy Craig and Dr. Debra Pepler, PREVNet is now based at the University of Calgary.
