Violence Prevention Services
At Equality Should Be Normal, we are committed to building safer, stronger communities through proactive and compassionate violence prevention efforts. Our work centers on education, outreach, and healing—empowering individuals and communities to interrupt cycles of violence and create lasting change.
Community Education & Training
We offer engaging workshops and professional development opportunities that equip community members, educators, and service providers with the knowledge and tools to prevent violence and support safer environments.
Systemic Strengthening
We collaborate with local organizations, institutions, and leaders to embed a violence prevention lens into systems and policies—helping to build a more just, resilient, and responsive community infrastructure.
Community Engagement
We believe that real change starts with connection. Through grassroots engagement and partnerships, we encourage everyone to play an active role in violence prevention and community empowerment.
Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Programs
Our CVI programs work directly with individuals at the highest risk of being affected by violence. We provide mentorship, support services, and resources to promote healing, address trauma, and create alternative pathways.
Street Outreach
Using a public health approach, our outreach workers are on the ground mediating conflicts, de-escalating tensions, and building relationships. Their presence is key in interrupting violence before it happens.
Trauma-Informed Support
Our team is trained in culturally relevant, trauma-informed care. We center healing and equity in every interaction, ensuring that those most impacted by violence are met with compassion and meaningful support.
