In Person CE event!
Firearm injury is among the leading causes of death for Americans aged 1-45 years old, but many clinical and community organizations receive little-to-no training on how to discuss firearm access or community violence risk with patients/clients. This session aims to increase attendee knowledge, understanding, and comfort utilizing evidence-based tools and skills to implement firearm injury and mortality prevention strategies in a variety of settings to meaningfully intervene and reduce risk associated with widespread access to firearms.
Olivia Frank, MPH, is the Injury & Violence Prevention Program Manager at Northwell Health’s Center for Gun Violence Prevention. Olivia’s portfolio focuses on implementing and evaluating the Center’s community-and-patient-facing programs, including the Hospital Violence Intervention Program (HVIP), and strengthening collaborations with surrounding New York City and New York State community violence intervention organizations. Originally from Canada, Olivia holds an MPH from Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, where she pursued a specialized course in injury and violence prevention, focusing on the intersections of adverse childhood experiences and community violence.
OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1) Describe the disease burden of intentional (suicide, homicide) and unintentional (accidental) firearm injury and mortality on a local and national level.
2) Compare and contrast various forms of firearm injury and mortality prevention initiatives, including universal screening, hospital-based violence intervention programs, and lethal means counseling.
3) Reflect on opportunities to integrate firearm safety and violence prevention into diverse patient and/or client-facing interactions.
