The Violence Prevention and Response Toolkit features a collection of videos and corresponding infographics carefully crafted to inform and educate the wider community on eleven vital topics related to violence prevention and safety awareness. The Toolkit holds significant relevance as it aligns with raising societal awareness and efforts to help local communities gain a deeper understanding of the signs that may indicate someone is moving towards violent behavior and recognizing the nature of targeted violence and terrorism threats.

The final Toolkit features 11 videos each with a length of 1-2 minutes. The topical areas are:

1. Situational Awareness
2. Recognizing Concerning Behavior
3. Hate and Bias Incidents
4. Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)
5. Recognizing Crisis
6. Threating Behavior
7. Suspicious Packages
8. Safety Planning
9. Reporting Concerns
10. Active Threat Response (Run, Hide, Fight)
11. Close it, Lock it, Don’t prop it!

Videos created for the Violence Prevention and Response Toolkit will be hosted on the VVPP YouTube Channel.

(Update August 21st, 2024 - Videos will be finalized and uploaded to YouTube Channel by September 16th 2024 - currently the channel has no videos posted)
