The Violence Prevention and Transformation Research Collaborative Past Events

"It is always very good for me to learn by listening to people's journeys. I really enjoyed learning from each presenter and then ending with the panel. I also enjoyed that there were time for audience questions and am happy with that balance. I'm so grateful for your work and efforts in sharing it with all of us in such a productive way."

"I loved the whole thing. I've been doing threat assessment for several years, and I found the information to be a value add and worthwhile to make the trip to the event. Overall, I think you all did a fantastic job of making this event beneficial for both the novice and the long-time practitioner."

"The presenters did a fantastic job at keeping their sessions interesting and relevant!"

""Every aspect of the event was outstanding. What I liked the most was how each speaker shared their experiences through a different lens. Each one of them gave informative, compelling presentations. They helped us understand and appreciate the magnitude and complexity of the problem. Dr. Lankford cleared up a couple misconceptions that we have held for a long time. Kristina's presentation was heartbreaking, but also so valuable."

"It was obvious how passionate each of the presenters are about solving this crisis. It is heartbreaking to see/hear the toll it has taken on each of them."

"The format, pacing, discussion sessions and breaks fit exactly how I learn. Love the speakers! They all have hands on experience as well as academic knowledge on the topic (best practices)"

"I found all of it informative, useful and hopeful. The blending of the threat assessment process and restorative practices is greatly needed. I appreciate the resources and research on this topic. I also appreciated looking at our responsibility and liability when doing threat assessments. The legal aspect is very important to be aware of. "
