Violent injury is a pressing global public health issue, with survivors at a much higher risk of experiencing repeated injuries. At Sunnybrook, violent injuries make up approximately 19% of all trauma activations—a figure that has risen significantly over time. To combat this, the BRAVE Program (Breaking the Cycle of Violence with Empathy) delivers hospital-based violence intervention aimed at reducing injury recidivism and preventing retaliation. Through coordinated wraparound services, BRAVE addresses key modifiable risk factors, fostering recovery and disrupting the cycle of violence.
