Prevention Institute's approach to preventing violence and injury focuses on developing strategies, tools, and building workforce and leadership capacity to address the complex underlying contributors to violence and injury. Our work addresses multiple forms of violence (e.g. school, community, family, intimate partner, sexual) and acknowledges the relationships amongst and from which they stem. Our injury prevention efforts currently focus primarily on traffic related injury prevention.
