Symposium on Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Violence Prevention
Symposium on Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Violence Prevention
Center for the Study and Practice of Violence Reduction, University of Maryland
Tuesday, October 22, 2024
The Center for the Study and Practice of Violence Reduction (VRC) is hosting a symposium on cognitive behavioral interventions (CBI) for violence reduction in order to raise awareness, advance practice, and build capacity in this important area. Cognitive behavioral interventions (CBI) have emerged as a key evidence-informed intervention for addressing community gun violence. That said, the capacity to implement these strategies remains limited, particularly when treating those at the highest risk for such violence, and the costs of such programs can run high.
With the support of the Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, the VRC is bringing together nationally recognized experts with a select group of on-the-ground practitioners for a day-long in-person meeting to identify best practices, address implementation challenges, and propose strategies for building capacity while increasing cost-effectiveness. The symposium will result in the publication of a white paper and other resources.
