Creative Director, StoryMine | Video stories created for health and science organizations | Stories that teach and transform
We worked with Dr. Punch and his team on a video project on harm reduction and opioid use disorder. The work their team is doing on bullet related injury at The BRIC is completely inspiring and in Dr. Punch's words "radical." Watch this short video (not by us, but great!) to quickly learn a bit about what they're doing.
Watch and share this inspiring video highlighting the transformative work of Dr. LJ Punch and the Bullet Related Injury Clinic (BRIC), a grantee of the Kaiser Permanente Center for Gun Violence Research and Education (powered by The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention). Located in St. Louis, BRIC is a community-based clinic that empowers individuals and communities to heal from bullet injuries. Founded by trauma surgeon Dr. LJ Punch, the clinic offers trauma-informed, accessible, and culturally competent care to gunshot victims and their families. The Center has invested nearly $7 million in community-led research, innovative health approaches, and promising interventions to protect the health and safety of our most affected communities. Stay tuned as we spotlight more grantees in the coming weeks and months! Learn more about the Center’s 38 grantees working to address the root causes of violence in over 20 states at https://lnkd.in/e5gxC-4n #EndGunViolence #TraumaInformedCare #CommunityHealing

We applaud the U.S. Surgeon General's Office for issuing a first-of-its-kind advisory declaring firearm violence in America as a public health crisis. As the advisory concludes, it will take the collective commitment of the nation to turn the tide on this crisis. A public health approach has the potential to curb the alarming trends of firearm-related injury and death that we see in Colorado and across the country, which have devastating impacts to our physical and mental health. As we continue to champion a public health approach to firearm harm prevention in Colorado, Trailhead is excited to use our program office as a hub for building collaboration across the state and working alongside communities to enact solutions that work best for them.
