Physical & Social Environments
We recognize that the physical and social environments in which people live have an enormous impact on the occurrence of injury and violence, as well as the ability to recover afterwards. Beyond the impact on individuals, it also goes on to impact the community and neighborhood itself. Our multi-faceted work examines both protective and risk factors in environments, so we can Stop It – Fix It – and Live On.
