How to Prevent Community Based Violence

The Community-Based Violence Prevention and Firearm Safety Webinar, hosted with the American Public Health Association (APHA) and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) offered a process map to prevent community based violence: define and monitor the problem, identify risk and protective factors, develop and test prevention strategies, assure widespread adoption. To develop a prevention strategy, I learned the importance of mental models to create transformative change with relationships and connections with observation of power dynamics with policies, practices and resource flows with Prevention Resources for Action | Violence Prevention | CDC and learned how to begin the process with community conversations about important health concerns and then the importance of continuing to talk up and push the message of evidence-based practices with health science support with various social media learning opportunities.
