PSR PA Violence Prevention
We would like to bring your attention to the reinvigorated CodeRed PA!
This is a collaboration that began in 2018 between PSR PA, Public Health Management Corporation and the City of Philadelphia Department of Public Health, fighting to achieve one common goal: the end of gun violence in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Every day, four Pennsylvanians die from gun violence. Gun violence is a complicated issue, interwoven with education, policy, domestic violence and mental illness. Our work is designed to impact all aspects, to prevent further harm, alleviate past damage, and mitigate long-term impacts and collateral consequences. CodeRed PA specifically brings the health professional voice to the firearm debate. Click here to learn more about what to do!
