Partners for Violence Prevention is a critical link for families, health care, and community organizations to develop and nurture a culture of peace in St. Paul and surrounding communities through collaboration and the provision of education and resources. We strive for the day when you don't need us anymore.

Partners for Violence Prevention (PVP) was created in 1996 with funding from two local foundations. Convinced that the health care system could impact the causes and effects of violence, these foundations responded to the need identified by PVP’s founding partners: To reduce the incidence and impact of violence, as well as the injuries and health problems resulting from violence. Funding was awarded also on the basis of the unique, collaborative nature of PVP’s strategy. We are proud to work with more than 70 health care and social service agencies, businesses, churches, schools, city, county and neighborhood organizations.
