Economic Support Strategies: Ending Cycles of Poverty
This web conference is open to RPE and DELTA recipients and subrecipients.
Join PreventConnect for a 3-part web conference series designed to deepen understanding of how economic justice, health equity, and violence prevention are interconnected. This three-part series will feature real-world examples of economic support initiatives in practice, illustrating how these strategies can lead to safer, healthier communities. The series will offer practical resources and insights to help expand knowledge and build capacity to implement economic support strategies.
While economic supports approaches are growing within traditional field of SV/ IPV coalitions and public health departments, community-based programs have been focusing their efforts in economic justice long before the evidence base was behind it.
The third session in this web conference series will feature a panel discussion of expert community-based practitioners, approaching economic supports in different ways.
Objectives:
- Build knowledge base of economic justice and health equity.
- Explore innovative economic supports approaches to preventing multiple forms of violence and fostering equitable communities.
- Draw from lived expertise of community-based practitioners, to develop and implement culturally competent economic supports strategies and approaches to preventing violence.
