Community Collaboration and Partnership
Collaborations with the local and national communities against violence is vital to our work. Here is a look at some of our partnerships:
Consortium of Southeast Regional Violence Intervention Programs (CoSERV)
The Mississippi Center for Violence via the Mississippi Injury Prevention Research project had the pleasure of partnering with the Department of Surgery to produce CoSERV this year at the Two Museums of Mississippi in downtown Jackson.
This consortium is a group of hospital-based and community-based violence intervention programs collaborating to address gun violence in the Southeast, where firearm homicides are disproportionately high.
- Mission: To develop and strengthen evidence-based strategies, support systems, and evaluation methods to reduce regional violence.
- Activities: Members share resources and information, and the group holds conferences to network and collaborate.
- Founding: The consortium was founded on a commitment to collaboration and the belief that fellowship and shared resources can help achieve violence reduction.
The agenda from the consortium follows the images from the program below.
