Office For Safe And Healthy Neighborhoods – Violence Prevention Training

Date of Event: 2023-06-03
The Office for Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods is partnering with Whitney Strong to offer a full day training on violence prevention! This training is significant, because June 2nd – 4th is “Wear Orange Weekend”, and we will honor Survivors of Gun Violence. This free, in-person training is scheduled on June 3rd, 2023. from 9:00am-2:00pm at Louisville Slugger Field  (401 East Main Street), and lunch will be served.  We will hear from experts as they cover a range of topics including Firearm Safety,  Suicide Prevention (QPR), Stop the Bleed, and The Public Health Approach to Violence. This training, which has been attended by over 800 citizens since its inception in 2017, aims to inform participants of individual and collective efforts to reduce violence in Louisville. For many of our participants, this is a gateway to get involved with the work of violence prevention and the dedicated partner organizations working to curb violence in our community.  If you have ever wanted to get plugged in to this work, this training is a great place to start.  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/violence-prevention-ambassador-training-with-whitney-strong-tickets-622036276247
