Assessment for risk of violence is not an add on for health systems -- it should be an essential part of health care @PennNursing

[CureViolence @CureViolence]

Everyone can agree that prevention is better than prosecution -- we need our investments to reflect this.

@SassCBrown @davidhogg111 Cure Violence model is a public health approach. We hire violence interrupters 2 change behaviors & mediate conflicts that would otherwise turn to shootings and / or death. Legislation needed for funding to implement the model 2 save lives https://t.co/ERz8G0ijNW

[Dan Ratner @danalert]

But unfortunately in Chicago we just hire more police. We need more @CeaseFireChgo instead, @ChicagosMayor. https://t.co/91uWsjlOPk

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Politicians know each day of inaction is killing innocent American children. They need to pass legislation for gun sense or funding for behavior intervention programs like @CeaseFireChgo.

Violence Interrupters can detect and prevent mass shootings. Hear from @GSlutkin on @Nightline about how health approaches are the missing piece. #ItsaHealthIssue #endviolence #neveragain https://t.co/NzOVZmwUNu

"Is it really practical to deploy health workers to help all of the socially disconnected and depressed people in America?"
@gslutkin "The answer is certainly yes"
