"In North Carolina, more than 48 percent of nurses said they witnessed violence at work, while more than 27 percent of respondents to a 2022 survey from the North Carolina Nurses Association reported they were victims of it themselves — and 'the problem is getting worse,' according to a news release from the association."

Smith attributes much of the drops in violent #crime to a focus in #Chicago on the #systemic drivers of #violence, rather than the #militaristic approach #Trump has touted in #WashingtonDC. She encouraged more federal investment in researching these types of #ViolencePrevention strategies.
“Kind of out of necessity Chicago has become a hub for innovation in gun violence prevention,” she said.

The month of June was super exciting for all of us at Jennifer Ann’s Group. We had the opportunity to teach one of the courses presented to Project TIDAL participants.
Project TIDAL is an NIH funded study that focuses on trauma-informed data science for abuse prevention in the lives of women- with a focus on pregnancy and postpartum.
The digital games from our Gaming Against Violence program were used to show the value and impact behind what we do, and how thinking outside the box is vital when working towards violence prevention!
Our trauma informed, non-violent games help teach people of all ages about healthy relationships, warning signs, and preventative factors to help stop intimate partner violence.
I’m honored, as a mother and part JAG, to have been a small piece of this wonderful study! 🤍✨💜

Our NGO is excited to be a member of Project Tidal.
This NIH-funded project is training early-career researchers in the use of big data analytics and digital health tools to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV) among pregnant / post-partum women.
The inaugural cohort are at Emory this week for in-person training. Yesterday, I was honored to teach them about theory and application of digital health games for violence prevention.
It's very encouraging to talk with these bright and enthusiastic researchers about ways technology can be used to prevent violence!

I just rediscovered two old posts/threads of mine, that explain pretty well, why I want to go into pedagogy now (I didn't know it back then - too busy working on my depression and hating school):

I want to protect children.
I want to provide them a save environment to thrive and talk about their troubles.
In a perfect school system kids would learn mental hygiene and get therapy before they learn integrals and the uncritical history of wars and power abuse. That would prevent so much domestic abuse, because it would be caught early.
And teaching kids emotional and social competence before teaching them applied capitalism will prevent abuse, division, exploitation and hate in the future.
I want to teach children to be happier than me, less abusive than my stepdad, more empathetic than my mom and more protective of future generations than my teachers were.
That's why I'm studying animal assisted pedagogy and will start studying social pedagogy, trauma pedagogy and environmental pedagogy this fall.

“Either your tax dollars are going to go to pro investment for our youth, or we’re going to pay on the back end with issues surrounding violence or putting kids in detention centers, which is more expensive,” said Illinois state Sen. Christopher Belt, who also serves on the committee.
