Developed in May 2012, NOLA FOR LIFE is Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s comprehensive murder reduction strategy to tackle the city’s historically-high murder rate.  Mayor Landrieu’s multi-focal approach, incorporates the Cure Violence Model as one of its interventions.  Recognizing that law enforcement alone cannot solve the murder problem, NOLA FOR LIFE takes a holistic approach to get to the root of the problem, and implements initiatives under five pillars:

1)         Stop the Shooting

2)         Invest in Prevention

3)         Promote Jobs and Opportunity

4)         Improve the NOPD

5)         Get Involved and Rebuild Neighborhoods

The New Orleans Health Department has been closely involved in the design and implementation of NOLA FOR LIFE.  This presentation will focus on the role that public health, in particular practitioners in the field of maternal and child health, can play in preventing violence.
