Better training = better results.

New Study: Sites using CVG's newly developed training conducted significantly more mediations — and were 75% less likely to see violence escalate.

No other violence interruption training has this kind of evidence.

New study: Survivors consistently engaged with hospital-based intervention programs were 50% less likely to be revictimized or commit violence years later.

The evidence is clear. Intervention works.

Violence spreads like a contagious disease.

When one person is shot, the people around them face dramatically higher risk. Same patterns as an epidemic.

At Cure Violence, we train credible messengers to interrupt violence before it spreads.

War and mass violence don't just kill — they traumatize communities, destabilize systems, and spread violence that can persist for generations.

Violence is an epidemic. Epidemics can and must be stopped.

Violence is a public health problem. It can be interrupted. It can be prevented.
