Prevention at the Intersections - Spring Intensive Training
Prevention at the Intersections
In collaboration with community colleges and universities nationwide the Prevention at the Intersections program is being offered in the nations most violent cities.
Our team prevents violence through the professionalization and deepening of service in the violence prevention field. We believe that strengthening the core of service professions will allow justice workers on all fronts to prevent violence and create peace. We are able to do this through educational opportunities, mentorship and training of public and human service professionals.
The curriculum has been developed over a four years through a community driven process and research. In Oakland, California we work with Violence Prevention practitioners, community advocates and educators committed to developing a program that increases human service professionals effectiveness in their work and broadens the social frame in which they do their work. The Prevention at the Intersections curriculum deepens human service practitioners ability to prevent violence on all fronts.
The curriculum designed for this program is divided into five sections that can be delivered in a variety of modules.
Historical & Contemporary Roots of Community & Institutional Violence
Introduction to Community Development and the Field of Violence Prevention
Intervention Strategies and Building Healthy Communities
Intersectionality Based Policy Analysis: Understanding the impact of violence
Career and Leadership Development in Violence Prevention
Violence Prevention for Human & Public Service Professionals
This training program offers professionals at various levels in their career the opportunity to enhance their impact and effectiveness in the field. Participants will learn from local and regional leaders on policies, practices and frameworks for re-framing public and human service through a violence prevention perspective. The leaders of Prevention at the Intersections have trained hundreds of local professionals that work in education, criminal justice, social services and beyond.
History of Program
Since 2009 the Violence Prevention Initiative has trained over 200 professionals in the East Bay through a one-year certificate program through the College of Alameda. To expand our efforts we have altered the structure of the program to allow for more flexibility and creativity in our approach. This year we will partner with California State University-East Bay Continuing Education Department for the East Bay (CA) program.
