Gun Violence Prevention
Gun violence is a topic that intersects with domestic and sexual violence at all levels.
Did you know that a victim who experiences intimate partner violence with a weapon is at much greater risk of dying by gun violence at the hands of their batterer?
The topic is especially poignant when addressing gun violence and teens, who, when living in an urban area, may be at heightened risk of dying by gun violence. That’s why it’s important that community organizations work together on street outreach.
If you would like a speaker to talk to your youth group, book club, or office staff, please reach out.
Together, we can work towards making our community safe from gun violence.
