Violence Prevention Resources
Public health efforts to prevent violence have been at work in communities around the country for decades. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides an explanation of violence prevention, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and evidence-based practices that can be replicated. This helped to inform our approach to violence prevention, which can be found on our About OVP page.
Below are resources developed by the Office of Violence Prevention to support safety in the community.
