Prevention

DiaNova has a vision around the prevention of acute Intimacy Anxiety Disorder as well. Tied closely to our goals around awareness, we anticipate that the more people become aware that an intimacy anxiety spectrum exists, the more that we can simultaneously educate people about the conditions that are more likely to be in place contributing to when it shows up. Similarly, the dissemination of education and information around early detection will also help us figure out ways to work on prevention of moderate to severe cases of Intimacy Anxiety Disorder (a.k.a. IAD).

The broader goals we see here include:

• Creating and distributing to organizations in all sectors an array of educational materials, on-site workshops and printed materials regarding what IAD is and how to be aware of early signs
• Speaking engagements by our faculty and staff in corporations, non profit agencies, schools, government agencies, other foundations, etc.
• Special educational materials to share with affiliate healing professionals for purposes of cross-referring (psychotherapists, MFWs, health care professionals, special victims units, coaches, etc.).
