We invite you to join us for the first of four public panels to explore and address gun violence and its intersections.
School shootings, while statistically rare, have increased; the number of days between school shootings has substantially declined. Since Columbine in 1999, there have been over 385 school shootings in the U.S. Trends are more than just numbers—they are the product of complex and intertwining factors that need to be understood in order to implement effective and feasible prevention and intervention strategies. They also represent stories and, in the case of school-associated gun violence, human beings who have been exposed to traumatic life-changing situations.
Join us for a panel discussion that will include an academic expert as well as school-based professionals who can speak to the factors that contribute to school shootings, how schools and other institutions are working to prevent and respond to school shootings, and what individuals and communities can do to address gun violence in schools.
