Community and Organization Partners
IPRCE and partners meet for the 2023 Emory Violence Prevention Symposium featuring a panel of leaders of community-based organizations who are actively working across components of the community violence prevention ecosystem.
We are committed to preventing injuries and violence by partnering with community leaders throughout Metro Atlanta. We work with local organizations that are experts in keeping people safe and who have a strong stake in protecting their neighborhoods. Together, we build strong networks and partnerships that help create safer communities for everyone.
Our extensive network of partners—which includes local, regional, and state organizations and universities—are essential to our work. In our planning meetings, they offer valuable ideas for how we conduct research, design our programs, and reach out to the community.
Our partners actively shape our work by sharing expert insights, advising on community needs, designing effective education and prevention programs that will directly benefit local residents/neighborhood/communities. We invite you to visit their websites to explore their specific programs, research findings and educational resources. By working together, we can build a community that is safer and fairer for everyone.
“Gun violence is an epidemic. It is also 100% preventable if we invest in public health frameworks and community-driven solutions. The IVYY Project, a hospital-based violence intervention program (HVIP), is proud to partner with The Injury Prevention Research Center at Emory to champion proven public health approaches to preventing gun violence so that everyone in our communities can live to pursue their dreams."
"IPRCE is a powerhouse of public health and injury prevention expertise and Shepherd Center is deeply appreciative to have partnered all these years with them. The work that we all do intersects beautifully through our joint task teams at IPRCE and The Governor's Office of Highway Safety. We could not do this work alone and greatly appreciate our partnership in making our communities safer."
"My experience in working with IPRCE has been fantastic! I value the ongoing collaboration opportunities and the incredible network of engaged researchers, practitioners, and colleagues who bring commitment and expertise to this group."
