Today's episode features Dr. Fredrick Echols, Chief Executive Officer of Cure Violence Global, a violence prevention organization. Prior to becoming CEO of CVG, Dr. Echols served as the Director of Health and Health Commissioner for the City of St. Louis and was a physician in the U.S. Navy. In this episode we discuss:

  • the reason for the uptick in violence during the COVID-19 pandemic
  • why a "for us by us" approach to violence prevention is more effective than traditional criminal legal models
  • how our social context impacts our health
  • how to reach equity in the health, wellness, and safety space
