How Do We Connect the Dots? Local Approaches to Preventing Multiple Forms of Violence

With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) strategic vision focused on preventing multiple forms of violence by addressing shared root factors, more and more communities are finding ways to operationalize this. What does addressing shared risk and protective factors look like and why should we be concerned with Connecting the Dots? This web conference will reference the research, while expanding the conversation about local and state strategies that prevent sexual and domestic violence among other forms of violence concurrently.
