Welcome to “DELTA Reflections: Shaping the Future of IPV Prevention,” a PreventConnect mini-series podcast that delves into the transformative journey of the DELTA project, a groundbreaking initiative by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aimed at preventing intimate partner violence (IPV). Over the course of the episodes, we will explore the rich history, innovative approaches, and profound impact of DELTA through the voices of those who have been instrumental in its success.  

In this episode, we are sitting down with two DELTA recipients from the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence (RICADV) - Lucy Rios, the Executive Director, and Cynthia Roberts, the Evaluator for RICADV.  As longtime recipients, Lucy and Cynthia have played pivotal roles in implementing and evaluating primary prevention strategies. This conversation explores how their personal and professional lives have grown along with DELTA, and how they infuse values learned from the DELTA project into their organization.
