Violence Prevention

By using an MLP...

How do I make the connection? How do I make the connection stronger?

In clinical and organizational settings, MLPs become an embedded process that addresses client & patient needs

HVIPs are multidisciplinary programs that identify patients at risk of repeat violent injury and link them with hospital- and community-based resources aimed at addressing underlying risk factors for violence.

On local, state, and federal levels, MLPs advocate for policy changes that provide equitable access to healthcare.

"We were able to get into public housing"

  • Advocated for programs that protect expectant parents by providing them with financial support from last trimester to post-birth
  • Public Housing set aside for expectant parents
  • Akron Pay to Stay eviction ordinance

MLPs work to increase infant vitality by closing equity gaps for mothers who face social inequities. This includes stopping an eviction, improving substandard housing conditions, getting a criminal record sealed or expunged, and helping a family access public benefits.

MLPs advocate for improved access on a policy level:

  • educating policymakers about the negative impact of creating new barriers to access
  • ensuring children do not lose access as PHE unwinds
  • supporting school based health care initiatives
