From Crisis to Care Symposium

✍🏽 Community Calendar Highlight: From Crisis to Care Symposium with Paterson Healing Collective

This Community Calendar Highlight is featuring Paterson Healing Collective, alongside leadership from Montclair State University, convening regional leaders for an important conversation on the future of community safety.

On March 31, 2026, professionals and community partners are invited to gather for From Crisis to Care: The Future of Community Safety Symposium — a regional convening focused on advancing trusted, evidence-based approaches to public safety.

This powerful event will center findings from the Paterson Healing Collective’s Five-Year Impact Study, highlighting the evolution of community violence intervention (CVI) and community-based crisis response efforts in New Jersey, with a strong focus on Paterson.

Participants will explore:

• Five-year impact data and measurable outcomes
• Research and field-based best practices
• Policy and funding considerations
• Cross-sector collaboration opportunities

This symposium will bring together:

• CVI and crisis response practitioners
• Hospital and healthcare partners
• Mental health and trauma specialists
• Academic researchers
• Frontline intervention professionals
• Advocates and community leaders

This is more than a symposium — it’s a strategic space to strengthen trust, improve outcomes, and build safer communities through collaboration and care.
