Violence prevention takes center stage this week at a gathering of about 1,000 people in Waikīkī to acknowledge the efforts of doctors, nurses, social workers and other health care professionals across the community. The Institute on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma, which has been around for two decades, just kicked off its 19th Hawaiʻi International Summit.

Author Robin Rohr and Department of Defense Health Agency liaison David Brown outlined the treatment options for veterans.
