Gun Violence

Guns have become the leading cause of death for children in America. Learn more with this infographic from The National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) Foundation.


Since 2018, there have been at least 2,740 mass shootings across the country. There have been 40 mass shootings so far in 2023. Gun violence continues to be a major public health problem in the United States, with far-reaching negative mental and physical impacts.

These shareable, updated graphics explore the health and mental health impacts from mass shootings and firearm related incidents, as well as the recent federal legislation to address gun violence.


The pandemic and recent gun violence throughout the country has highlighted the importance of addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and investing in programs and strategies that support children. Watch this recorded webinar to hear experts discuss ways to address ACEs and hear about partnerships to help children with ACEs heal.
