Description: Preventing violence is everyone’s work, but collaborating across sectors can be a tall order. Based on input from more than 40 practitioners, this webinar shares advice on how local government can boost your efforts to prevent gang violence, child abuse, bullying, and other forms of violence. Find a common agenda that the community and local government can all support, and figure out what you can ask of local schools, health, criminal justice and other sectors. Guest speakers in Portland, Maine, and Houston will share what they’ve been able to accomplish through multi-sector partnerships and how they’ve dealt with challenges along the way.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the value of collaborating across sectors and with the community to address the underlying causes of violence.
• Name an unusual role or non-traditional partner who could be recruited to help prevent children’s exposure to violence.
• Describe at least one joint strategy pursued by two or more sectors with the potential to prevent violence and improve other outcomes.
