Healing Our Blocks: Violence Prevention & Second Chance Symposium

Healing Our Blocks is a powerful community symposium focused on violence prevention, healing, and second chances.

Held during Second Chance Month, this event brings together youth, community members, leaders, organizations, and policymakers to address the root causes of violence and build pathways toward restoration, opportunity, and long-term community safety.

Participants will engage in a dynamic experience that includes:

• A featured “From Harm to Healing” Community Forum
• Interactive workshops and breakout sessions
• Youth voice and leadership engagement
• Healing-centered dialogue and reflection
• A community resource marketplace

Grounded in Community Violence Intervention and Prevention (CVIPI) principles, this symposium centers healing, accountability, and opportunity as key strategies to break cycles of violence.

This is more than an event—it’s a space for connection, collaboration, and collective action.
