Welcome to the Office for Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods’ One Love Louisville: Be The One To Make A Difference Newsletter. This monthly newsletter is one way to communicate about our work.
We thank you for signing up and joining us as we work together towards our vision of a safe and healthier city.
"All Hands On Deck"
One Love Louisville is a campaign that began in January 2015 consisting of a comprehensive action plan including 13 goals and 42 initiatives developed by over 150 community members. Its purpose is to reduce overdose, suicide and homicide rates throughout the city of Louisville with specific focus on areas that experience these violent deaths at higher rates. This plan is a collective endeavor that relies on all residents from all areas and industries of the city to truly be successful. We are requesting the help of all Louisvillians to Be the One to Make a Difference and prevent violence. Details.

Theme of the Month: Youth Violence Prevention & Awareness
In solidarity with the National Youth Violence Prevention Week, the OSHN along with 12 organizations have come together to bring awareness to youth violence prevention efforts throughout Louisville. This collaboration has put together a master calendar of events that promote anti-violent youth. We invite all youth serving organizations, houses of faith, youth groups, families and youth to participate in these events as well as to share pictures, quotes and their own events on social media using #LouYVP2015. See below to learn about how to get involved.
Youth Violence Prevention Week: March 23-27:
National Youth Violence Prevention Week occurs on March 23-27, 2015. During this week OSHN and collaborating organizations will work at the Louisville Metro Youth Detention Services and throughout the city to provide programming and activities focused on the following:

The goal of the week is to raise awareness and to educate students, teachers, school administrators, counselors, school resource officers, school staff, parents, and the public on effective ways to prevent or reduce youth violence. Details.
