About this event

Firearms have become the leading cause of death for US children and teens, and disproportionately impact people of color. The impact of gun violence extends far beyond immediate deaths and injuries, with childhood exposure contributing to mental health challenges, and increasing the risk of adult involvement in gun violence.

During this webinar presented by the Joyce Foundation, researchers from the University of Michigan, RTI International, and Sandy Hook Promise will discuss new findings that explore the psychological impact of mass shootings on youth, and the impact of anonymous reporting systems on school gun violence prevention.

Featuring panelists:
1. Alexandria French
Director, Research & Evaluation
Sandy Hook Promise

2. Dr. Elyse Thulin
Research Assistant Professor, Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention
University of Michigan

3. Kirsty Weitzel
Research Data Scientist
RTI International

**This webinar is part of a Joyce Foundation series focused on firearms research commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The research and analysis presented during this webinar reflect the views of the presenting researchers and not necessarily of the Joyce Foundation or the CDC.**

NOTE: Only the first 1,000 attendees will be able to join the Webinar live. The Joyce Foundation will email the webinar recording to all registrants when it's available.
