• Arriving at a better understanding of the intersections between mental health and violence, including:
  • The relationships between mental health dysfunction and risks of violence perpetration and victimization as well as the mental health consequences of exposure to violence; and
  • The extent to which improved mental health functioning and improved mental health services can--or cannot--address concerns about violence in society.
• Exploring a new model for thinking about the intersections of mental health promotion and violence prevention that is useful for improving outcomes.
