About Us

Students for the Prevention of Violence aims to increase awareness and advocacy within the health professional community against the various forms of violence. We organize a Violence Prevention and Trauma Informed Elective in the fall, a trauma-informed and healing-center provider skills seminar and an evening that honors survivors of interpersonal violence. As health professionals, it is imperative that we advocate for systemic changes that allow our clinical practice to call out the form of oppression and violence that gives rise to trauma as well as support and empower radical healing.
