About Partners in Prevention

Partners in Prevention was created to address the forms of psychological harm that are often minimized, misunderstood, or misnamed—yet shape lives long after a crisis appears to be “over.”

Many individuals who endure coercive control, emotional domination, trauma, or institutional betrayal struggle not only with the injury itself, but with the absence of language to describe what happened. Without language, there is often self-doubt. Without self-trust, prevention becomes difficult.

This organization exists to restore clarity through education. Education is prevention and prevention is the cure.

Partners in Preventions Mission Statement

Partners in Prevention is dedicated to preventing domestic violence and intervening through education and therapeutic resources. Through consultation with domestic abuse survivors, and through the publishing and distribution of domestic violence eBooks, we help individuals worldwide recognize, end, and heal from domestic abuse.

Through training and speaking, we educate and support nurses, physicians, and therapists nationwide—empowering them to identify domestic violence, facilitate change, and restore healing for the abused patients they serve.

Our Nonprofit Organizational Focus

  • Naming psychological harm accurately
  • Teaching how coercive systems operate
  • Supporting trauma-informed awareness
  • Preventing intergenerational transmission of harm
  • Offering grounded, non-sensational education

Partners in Prevention is not a crisis center, a product marketplace, or a belief-based platform. It is a public-education organization devoted to prevention through understanding.

Our Orientation & Guiding Principles

We do not push an agenda or prescribe a single path. Instead, we offer education, language, and perspective so people can recognize what is happening, name it clearly, and choose next steps from a place of inner knowing and safety.

Founder & Educational Director – Dr. Jeanne King, Ph.D.

Partners in Prevention was founded by Dr. Jeanne King, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, trauma specialist, meditation practitioner, and author with more than four decades of clinical experience in trauma, abuse, and recovery work.

Her professional background bridges:

  • Clinical psychology
  • Trauma and nervous-system science
  • Meditation, stress reduction and self-regulation
  • Domestic abuse survivor advocacy
  • Institutional and systems-based trauma education

Dr. King has served as a keynote presenter for government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice, and has contributed to the development of trauma-informed behavioral-health programs in medical and community settings. Her work is known for integrating professional psychological clarity with deep respect for domestic abuse survivor lived experience.

Partners in Prevention reflects her lifelong commitment to preventing intimate partner abuse through education, understanding and awareness.

National Education, Training & Published Prevention Work

For many years, the prevention mission of Partners in Prevention has been carried into hospitals, medical systems, and community shelters nationwide through professional education and keynote presentations.

Through the long-standing presentation The Dangerous Myths of Domestic Violence, Dr. Jeanne King has provided training and education for:

  • Hospital nursing programs
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology physicians
  • Mental health professionals
  • Domestic abuse shelters and advocacy organizations
  • Interdisciplinary healthcare teams

These programs focus on dismantling common misconceptions about abuse, strengthening early identification, and helping professionals respond with clarity, safety, and trauma-informed care. This work reflects Partners in Prevention’s core commitment to education as the front line of prevention.

In addition to live education and training, prevention through written language has been a central part of this work. Dr. King is the author of more than a dozen domestic violence–focused eBooks and has published over 500 educational articles on abuse dynamics, coercive control, trauma recovery, and prevention. These writings are used by survivors, clinicians, advocates, and training programs seeking clear language and grounded understanding.

Dr. King has also provided trauma-informed educational consultation and prevention-focused support to individuals and families in five countries, working directly with translators during sessions to ensure accurate, culturally responsive communication. In addition, her articles and eBooks have been translated by others to extend access to international communities. This work remains among the most meaningful chapters of her career.

Relationship to Other Work

Partners in Prevention is a nonprofit education initiative devoted solely to public prevention and awareness.

Dr. King’s private books, programs, and clinical-educational work are housed separately through Inner Sanctuary Online, which offers a more in-depth sanctuary space for individual healing and ongoing resources.

Community Partnership & Prevention in Action

For many years, Partners in Prevention has been honored to support Alpha Chi Omega, Nu Chapter through ongoing sponsorship and education focused on relationship safety, prevention, and early intervention.

Through community partnerships, we have provided:

  • Prevention-focused educational programming
  • Awareness training on coercive control and emotional abuse
  • Support for relationship safety and boundary education
  • Resources designed specifically for collegiate women

Our collaborations with young women’s organizations reflects our commitment to meeting prevention where community already lives through visibility, education, and shared responsibility.
