Prevention Institute staff shared our work and approach with practitioner audiences at conferences and webinars, including the Association of Black Foundation Executives Annual Conference, the National Association of County and City Health Officials Annual Meeting, and with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. PI also hosted a virtual teach-in, which launched PI’s new tool, The Timeline of Resistance.

Additionally, PI staff presented at the American Public Health Association’s (APHA) Annual Meeting in Minneapolis in late October. APHA is one of the largest annual gatherings of public health professionals from multiple sectors across the country, and provides a valuable opportunity to share lessons learned, generate new ideas and relationships, and look ahead to the future. The theme was “Rebuilding Trust in Public Health and Science.” PI staff presented on the following topics:

• Syncing for safety: Strategies for youth and neighborhood-centered (SYNC) safety
• Beyond data and surveys: Community assessment as an opportunity to build community power and momentum
• Exploring the timeline of resistance: Liberation towards anti-racism
• Public health’s role in leveraging opioid settlement funds to advance evidence-based strategies
• APHA Public Health Film Festival: Increasing social and political capital to advance equity through civic engagement

Funders: The W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Blue Shield of California Foundation; St. Joseph Fund; and Cooperative Agreement Number NU38OT000305 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Prevention Institute also relies on core support and unrestricted funds to meet requests for sharing resources that benefit the field of public health.
