About the Pacific Violence Prevention Institute
Located
in Bellingham, WA, the Pacific Violence Prevention Institute
was founded in 2007 by the founders of
Northwest Violence
Prevention Solutions, Inc. (NVPS). While two
separate and distinct companies, the sole mission of both
organizations is to create safer and stronger communities by
preventing and responding effectively to acts of violence.
While NVPS was formed
as a for-profit endeavor, it became apparent that many
organizations desperately needed violence prevention
services but were unable to pay for them. The Pacific
Violence Prevention Institute was founded to meet this need,
and through generous donations and grant funding is able to
provide these services free of charge to organizations and
individuals in need.
The
PVPI uses proprietary violence prevention and prejudice
reduction models that have been shown to be highly effective
in creating safer schools and other organizations.
