GVPanorama - How Does Public Health Tackle Gun Violence?
"We must take a public health approach to ensuring our families and communities are safe."
While on the search for recent gun violence prevention news for our weekly "Friday Finds” feature, we often come across editorials, personal stories, or wider-lens articles that don’t necessarily fit into a “current events” window. With “GVPanorama” we will highlight some of these thought-provoking pieces.
As stated in this post from the American Public Health Association (APHA), “The issue of gun violence is complex and deeply rooted in our culture, which is why we must take a public health approach to ensuring our families and communities are safe. We must place a renewed emphasis on improving gun injury and violence research.”
This piece includes an informative video about how we can approach the gun epidemic from a public health perspective; a gun violence prevention fact sheet pdf; quick info on contacting your Congressional representatives; and 15 more links to articles, videos, and webinars addressing gun violence awareness.
