Global Crises, Local Impacts Webinar: Strengthening Community Safety Through Collaboration Between Local Police, Social Workers, and Health Care Professionals
Date & Time:  Tuesday 18 November 2025 11:00am-12:30pm ET

Effective city-led prevention and response require a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to ensure community safety and wellbeing. Collaboration between police, social workers, and health care professionals is a critical component of this approach.  Among other things, this collaboration helps cities advance their violence prevention efforts as these practitioners an identify and address – through comprehensive support — early signs of mental health and other crises that may escalate into violence if left unaddressed. 

This 90-minute webinar will feature local practitioners working as part of these multi-disciplinary teams. They will share lessons learned, good practices and challenges from their work in navigating complex challenges such as mental and behavioral health crises, homelessness, and interpersonal conflict through a lens of prevention. Speakers will describe how collaboration between police, social workers, and health professionals can improve public safety outcomes and maintain social cohesion while fostering trust, compassion and efficiency in prevention and response.
