Eradicate Hate Global Summit

Thrive, Working Groups and Ideation Teams and other programs dedicated to developing actionable resources, solutions, and strategies to address hate-fueled violence.

The Prevention Practitioners Network (PPN) is a national network of over 1,600interdisciplinary professionals dedicated to using public health approaches to prevent targeted violence, terrorism, and their impacts within the United States. PPN conducts capacity-building workshops; publishes free practice guides; hosts a national directory of providers and resources; facilitates case consultations for clinicians; shares the latest research; and raises public awareness.Since moving to Eradicate Hate, the PPN has experienced steady growth and expanded its reach. On July 1, we hosted an online workshop for 141 attendees that focused on promising practices for multidisciplinary teams. On July 30, we co-hosted a workshop with the Institute for Strategic Dialogue identifying research needs and common challenges for practitioners. Following the workshop, PPN surveyed practitioners to develop a prioritized research agenda. With 312 responses, including 151 practitioners, our survey helps inform public and private research investment across the field of targeted violence prevention. Since March, PPN has added 215 new members and 40 directory profiles. The Network has also updated eight practice guides, which multidisciplinary teams across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have used as they stand up to prevent targeted violence and terrorism. It also published a first-of-its-kind ethics framework for preventing targeted violence that providesan ethical grounding in the targeted violence prevention space so that professions across multiple disciplines share a common language, according to Dr. James Marley, chair of the PPN Ethics Committee and Associate Professor at Loyola University's School of Social Work.
