About the Stop It Now! Virginia Helpline Campaign
The Campaign
In response to an objective of Sexual Violence State Plan for Virginia, a steering committee worked with Virginia Department of Health to decide how to implement a helpline service in Virginia. The committee then worked with a marketing firm to develop a campaign message to promote the Stop It Now! Helpline in Virginia.
