About this event

  • 8 hours 30 minutes

As firearm injuries continue to claim lives, especially among our children and teenagers, it is crucial to convene experts, legislators, and advocacy groups to explore effective strategies for reducing these tragic incidents. Join us for the Third Annual Firearm Injury Prevention Conference, an essential gathering to address the urgent public health issue of firearm injuries in the United States.


This conference brings together a diverse range of stakeholders to discuss themes such as secure storage, community violence prevention, advocacy, education, and community interventions aimed at addressing the multifaceted challenge of firearm injuries. Our goal is to generate actionable recommendations and initiatives to curb this epidemic. Join us as we work towards a safer, healthier future for all.


This nonpartisan event is sponsored by the Baker Institute Center for Health and Biosciences and aims to foster meaningful dialogue and collaboration. As this conference will be held on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we encourage attendees to wear orange to acknowledge this important day.
