• Want to learn how to start a hospital-based violence intervention program?
• Interested in learning how to support direct care staff?
• Need guidance on how to obtain and sustain funding for a hospital-based program?

These are just some of the topics in this 160-page guide, which combines the latest research in the field with the on-the-ground combined wisdom of established hospital-based violence intervention programs. This NNHVIP publication offers a soup-to-nuts guide on not only how to create a program in your community, but how already existing programs can improve by integrating best practices and new ideas.

We are spreading the word about violence as a public health issue! Members of NNHVIP presented a panel session, entitled Intersecting with the Community to Address Violence: The National Network on Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Programs, at the APHA Annual Conference in Washington, DC, on November 1st.
