Thank you to speakers and attendees for participating in GVAW that was held October 25th - 29th

Trauma-informed practices in schools and how these can be applied towards mitigating the effects of gun violence and - possibly - contribute to gun violence prevention in schools. In discussing the importance of intervention at the school-level, a background on the impact of ACEs across an individual’s lifespan will be given
The talking points surrounding gun violence focus on policy and/or the police. This panel will address community-based perspectives on and interventions to effectively prevent gun violence
