Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention

This roundtable event brings together the whole of society with a common thread in prevention and intervention programming and a foundational goal of helping others thrive.

Through interactive presentations and dynamic, purposeful conversations, participants will increase their awareness of the issues, identify gaps in programs and services, and develop smart solutions that will amplify collaboration with Federal, state, and local groups, grantees, community organizations to develop intervention strategies to prevent targeted violence and terrorism. We will have deep conversations on the solutions, useful resources, and training strategies to prevent targeted violence through collaboration with Federal, State, and local groups, grantees, and community organizations.
