Over the past several months, the Marion County Public Health Department team has hosted a series of interactive workshops, with the focus centered on discussions surrounding various methods of reducing gun violence. These meetings feature both youth and local provider participants conducting strategic marketing sessions with interactive exercises to further explore approaches to youth gun violence prevention, intervention, and reduction. Other activities include an opportunity to present their own unique creative works themed around gun violence prevention – culminating in an art gallery display.

The third workshop will be at Martin University on October 3rd, hosted by the Marion County Public Health Department team.
