A Public Health Crisis Requires a Public Health Solution

Healthcare must be responsive to the needs of victims of violence. That starts with providing equitable care that addresses more than just physical wounds. Hospital-based and hospital-linked violence intervention programs (HVIPs) throughout the country are advancing comprehensive models of care that address the intersectional nature of trauma, social determinants of health, and violence.

 
 
 
 
 

A Network OF VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PROFESSIONALS

The HAVI supports an interdisciplinary community of violence intervention specialists, doctors, health administrators, and researchers, providing resources to enhance new and existing network programs. We offer a range of training and technical assistance for our robust alliance while supporting the growth of emerging HVIP programs.

Together with our partners, the HAVI advocates for transformative investment in hospital-based violence intervention programs locally and nationally. Our coalition advances evidence-based policies at all levels to improve the health care landscape while advocating for policies to curtail community violence and trauma.
