Gun Violence Prevention Advocacy 101

Widespread approaches to strengthening youth and making communities safer require policy, systems and environmental change. Getting to those changes requires each of us to raise our voices, but how do you effectively become a gun violence prevention advocate in a clinical setting? How do you make sure your voice is heard and how do you say the right thing?

In this training, you’ll learn about the powerful role all health professionals can play in advocating for gun violence prevention.
