Rethinking Violence Prevention from a Systems Lens

Ace Devlin, PLMHP
Mental Health and Wellness Manager, Black & Pink, Inc.

Many of the systems we have created to prevent interpersonal violence and promote public health have low buy-in and trust from the public, rendering them ineffective. The burden of this disconnect is often misplaced, sometimes onto the very individuals and communities experiencing violence. In this session, we will explore ways that public health systems are contributing to violence in the lives of the people and communities we serve, and how we as individuals can be a part of a movement for change.
