⧉ Faith as Frontline Prevention: The Role of Faith as a Protective Factor

Participants will learn how theologically conservative to moderate faith communities—often underrepresented in prevention spaces—serve as frontline actors against hate-fueled violence by building protective factors such as belonging, agency, and conflict fluency. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to engage these communities in both long-term prevention and crisis response, strengthening cross-sector resilience and expanding the field’s reach into critical but often overlooked populations.
