Salus
Salus strengthens efforts to promote peace and support the health and safety of communities, by amplifying the voices of practitioners in creating and curating content on best practice and sharing information through accessible channels.
Fostering Safer Communities Through Shared Ideas
Through a virtual community of practice, a resource clearinghouse and other online learning tools, Salus aims to connect a global community of talent to promote community-driven solutions, the application of research to practice, and broader access to resources for all. Salus focuses on providing best practices in three core areas: intimate partner violence, sexual violence and sex trafficking.
Salus (pronounced sayŸlus) gets its name from the Roman goddess of safety and well-being – of both the individual and the state. The name represents both parts of our collective work: providing support services to increase the safety of each person (the individual) and challenging the attitudes and systems that perpetuate violence (the state).
