Action Team 1

Public Policy & Engagement

about us

Public Policy & Engagement focuses on the coordination of educational efforts regarding the impact of public policy on individuals and communities, maximizing public policy efforts through public engagement, and developing evidence-based policy perspectives that target the reduction and elimination of interpersonal violence and abuse across the lifespan. Recently, Action Team 1 conducted an internal analysis of collective expertise and connections to potential partner organizations and joined with Action Teams 2 and 3 on the NPEIV Violence Prevention Grant. Additionally, they created and executed targeted public awareness campaigns, including three rapid responses and promotion of NPEIV webinars. The team works to promote awareness of current issues, advocate for informed public policies and support the National Plan to End Interpersonal Violence.
