At Peace Over Violence, we practice together to create a workplace environment that is supportive, kind, creative and inclusive.

The work we do is challenging and sometimes unrelenting. As an organization with a deep commitment to survivors, their families, and to healthy and safe communities, we intend to be here for the long haul. This means we need the support of each other.

We have sought to identify practices that reflect the values we hold in high esteem as we work one-on-one and one-by-one to intervene and prevent violence.
