Education Makes Strides Toward Trauma Prevention

Trauma education is an essential component to trauma prevention. UC Health Trauma and Critical Care surgeons actively promote trauma education through involvement in community education. One such program, “Out of the Crossfire,” is a response to the increase in gun violence occurring across the nation. A hospital-based violence intervention initiative, “Out of the Crossfire” provides victims of gun violence with new life choices through introduction to community services, resources and positive peer relationships.
