The Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE) invites you to the 2nd Annual Healing Communities Symposium — a one-day summit uniting residents, government leaders, community-based organizations, and private sector partners to reimagine safety across the District.
This year’s theme, “An Integrated Approach to Violence Intervention,” calls on all of us to step up to stand down violence. Through rich dialogue, community activations, and mindful engagement, we’ll explore the intersections of healing, justice, and systems change.
Whether you’re a policymaker, business leader, returning citizen, activist, or neighbor, your voice and vision are vital. Together, we can build a District where peace is possible.
What to Expect

Keynote speakers from the District and across the country
Breakout sessions on policy, community-based solutions, and more
Live podcast recording with community voices
Yoga + meditation and wellness stations
Resource tables, networking, and community art
Free lunch + giveaways
And so much more…

Symposium Goals

Engage the public and private sectors to innovate strategies for large-scale violence interruption and reduction.
Empower participants with tools to actively address violence as a public health emergency.
Energize the District to shift narratives around violence, interruption, and intervention.
