Gun Violence Awareness Day
Inside our June 2024 newsletter
In this issue: Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day and we invite you to join us in recognizing and honoring the victims and survivors of gun violence. Firearm injury is a major public health issue of epidemic proportions, but a future with less violence is possible. We are pursuing that goal through focused research that addresses gun violence from a public health perspective. Our work informs policy and programs that prevent violence and empowers communities to help realize a safer future. The VPRP team has grown to over 30 members and our work is rapidly moving forward. Thank you for standing with us not only on Gun Violence Awareness Day, but all year long.
Other topics covered:
- New research on exposure to community violence and postraumatic stress symptoms, as well as political violence.
- VPRP's collaboration with the UC Davis Health Wraparound Program and the UC Davis CAARE Diagnostic and Treatment Center to establish Sacramento's first trauma recovery center.
- New infographics and flyers from the BulletPoints Project for healthcare providers.
