- Host a National Directory of prevention resources and mental and behavioral health clinicians willing to accept referrals

- Facilitate case consultations for clinicians with complex cases
- Share the latest research
Prevention in Practice Learning Community
In partnership with Boston Children’s Hospital, the PPLC will serve as a community of licensed mental and behavioral health providers who want to learn from one another through case studies, discussion, and consultation.
The PPLC aims to provide clinical practitioners with strategies for working with adolescents and adults at risk for violence due to grievances and/or beliefs. This may include individuals in the early stages of contemplating or justifying violence; individuals who are more seriously engaged with violent groups or ideologies; or individuals who have already been criminally charged for threatening or committing an act of violence. We welcome practitioners from a range of practice settings, and particularly encourage practitioners with experience in working with high-risk patients.
If you are a clinically licensed practitioner and would like to join the PPLC, please email Neil Saul at nsaul@eradicatehatesummit.org.
