The Violence Prevention Project’s public awareness campaign seeks to educate people about the warning signs for targeted violence and
strategies for bystander reporting. These materials were created in partnership with ICF Next, OneK Creative, Niama Al-Nima, and Tiny Anthems’ Mike Long and were supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Colorado Department of Public Safety.

We invite you to explore the campaign tools and messages below.
