MHEP recognizes Gun Violence Awareness Month as an opportunity to honor those impacted by gun violence and reaffirm our commitment to creating safe, healthy, and thriving communities.

Gun violence affects the well-being of children, youth, and families and highlights the need for prevention, healing, and community-driven solutions. We stand with our partners and communities in supporting efforts that promote safety, opportunity, and hope for all. Together, we can build stronger communities where every child, youth, and family can thrive.
