What Is No More Violence Week?
NoMore Violence was founded in 2015 by Dr. Cherie McKeever and students at Great Falls College-MSU in response to an increased recognition of violence against children and in families in our community. A week of awareness events was their coordinated response to “do something” positive. These initial efforts have grown into a tremendous legacy of what is now known as NoMore Violence Week. Today, NoMore Violence Week is held at the beginning of April in Great Falls, Montana, and includes a full week of free training, awareness building activities, and community events for all ages. Through partnerships with more than 25 community organizations, this week addresses challenging topics – child abuse, intimate partner violence, family violence, trauma, human trafficking, missing and murdered indigenous people, addiction, suicide, mental health, isolation and more – in a spirit of collaboration, partnership, growth, hope and unity.
