We're grateful for partners like Okemos Public Schools Superintendent John Hood, who recognize the importance of proactive, coordinated support for students and families. Prevent 2 Protect works alongside schools and communities to ensure youth receive the guidance and care they need to thrive in safe and supportive environments.

We're honored to be included in a community conversation hosted by the City of Lansing on Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs).

Our project manager, Danielle Murphy, joined a panel of local leaders and professionals to discuss how ERPOs can be used to prevent harm and support community safety. Conversations like these are essential for building awareness, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring communities understand the resources available to intervene before a crisis occurs.
