Firearm Harm Prevention

Gun violence is a public health crisis, and it is preventable with a public health approach.

Together with other city agencies, the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment (DDPHE) has embarked on a strategic approach to prevent gun violence in Denver, which will result in a collaborative citywide prevention blueprint launching in 2025. This work will recognize and supplement all ongoing gun violence prevention work already being done in Denver by other city agencies and our community partners.
