Welcome message from the LEPH2021 Conference Director, Professor Jen Wood.

Conference Director, Professor Jennifer Wood
Temple University

On behalf of the local Organizing Committee, I am delighted to invite you to the 6th LEPH conference in March 2021.  This will be the first time that the conference will be hosted in the United States.

It will also be the first time that the conference will occur on a virtual platform.  A virtual conference provides new opportunities to expand the global reach of the conference series and to inspire jurisdictions from across the world to make concrete changes in furtherance of community safety and wellbeing.

This conference was made possible by the exciting collaboration between Temple University, Drexel University, Rutgers University-Camden, the University of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson University. We are honored that these universities are convening this event in partnership. Stay tuned for updates on our website (https://leph2021philadelphia.com/) to learn about invited speakers and planned sessions, and the many ways you can participate in this event and build networks with people working in the many shared spaces of law enforcement and public health.

These include pandemics, alcohol and other drug use, mental health, racial, economic and gender equity, violence, trauma-informed approaches, and many more.

Thank you,
Jen.
