In recognition that violence is a public health issue—with deep roots in structural inequities that have long undermined the well-being of our most vulnerable residents—the Alameda County Public Health Department established its Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) to investigate, understand, and address violence that touches the lives of Alameda County residents.

Launched in 2023, OVP relies on local, state, and federal funding to support its initiatives. The primary source of investment is American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding allocated by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to support program establishment. What types of violence does the Office of Violence Prevention focus on?

The Office of Violence Prevention focuses on four different types of violence, which were identified as priority areas in Alameda County’s Community Health Needs Assessment. These types of violence include: Intimate Partner violence Youth and Young Adult suicide Do you offer direct services to individuals or families?

The Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) does not presently offer direct services to individuals and families; however, we partner with several community violence intervention programs that can offer support. Please visit the Our Work page for more information about those programs or contact us at PublicHealthOVP@acgov. org .

How can my organization collaborate with the Office of Violence Prevention? OVP is always looking to collaborate and build stronger connections with community organizations in Alameda County. We’ll share opportunities to collaborate, including community events and future funding announcements through email and other outreach.
