Safe States 2024 Annual Injury & Violence Prevention Conference will be held August 20-22 in Portland, Oregon!
National Youth Violence Prevention Week, from April 22 to 26 this year, is the time of the year when certain organizations place a great focus on preventing youth violence. Sponsored by the National Association of Students Against Violence Everywhere (SAVE) and Sandy Hook Promise, the week looks at the different instances of youth violence that have taken place over the past few years. It also aims to encourage student involvement, so people of all ages are better prepared to tackle cases of youth violence before they occur. The end goal is to ensure no young lives are lost in horrifying acts of violence.
Since 1981, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) has challenged the Nation to confront and remove barriers to achieving justice for all victims of crime. During NCVRW, we celebrate the accomplishments of the victims’ rights movement and reflect on how far we have come.
Every April, OVC leads communities throughout the country in their annual observances of NCVRW. We will observe NCVRW April 21–27, 2024, with the theme—
How would you help?
Options, services, and hope for crime survivors.
The 2024 theme asks all of us—friends, family members, neighbors, colleagues, community leaders, victim service providers, criminal justice practitioners, and health professionals—how we can help crime victims.
Advancing injury prevention through community-engaged research
Hosted by the Injury Prevention Research Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The theme for the 2024 SAVIR Annual Conference is "Advancing injury prevention through community-engaged research”. The conference will highlight ways in which researchers are engaging communities in a meaningful way to advance injury and violence prevention.
During the conference, we will explore methods, strategies, and the role of working with community partners, community leaders and others to conduct research, outreach and training activities. Join us to share ideas and perspectives, and to learn about innovative approaches to injury and violence prevention.
Location: Sheraton Chapel Hill Hotel. One Europa Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27517
Hosted by Northwell Health’s CEO Michael Dowling, the Gun Violence Prevention Forum is an annual convening of key healthcare and cross-sector leaders to form alliances, drive strategy, and elevate the national conversation around gun violence as a public health emergency.
This ground-breaking public health summit is focused on mobilizing collective efforts within the healthcare industry. And now – building on the significant momentum we have seen in healthcare and at a national level – is the urgent time to mobilize from advocacy to action.
