map of 17 communitiesThe University of Alaska seeks community input surrounding lifespan violence and will be traveling to 17 different communities across Alaska to gain insight. Community members are invited to participate in a community-wide stakeholder meeting to contribute input and advocate for children, adults, and elderly victims of violence.  Building community capacity to respond to violence is especially important for small communities with limited resources. Your engagement is valued for UAA to help understand the needs of your community that will influence UAA health care personnel training.
