Violence Prevention

Youth violence is a public health problem that affects thousands of young people each day, and in turn, their families, schools, and communities.

Youth violence is connected to other forms of violence, including child abuse and neglect, teen dating violence, adult intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and suicide.

The good news is youth violence is preventable. 

Protective factors may lessen the likelihood of youth violence victimization or perpetration.
