The Center for Nonviolence and Social Justice will focus on trauma as a public health issue. It is supported by grants from The Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation and California Endowment.

The center will provide training and technical assistance for emergency department clinicians and intervention staff that deal with cases of trauma on an emergency basis. The grants will be used to establish the center’s training, technical assistance and leadership development components.
