You can learn about our three main approaches for reducing violence.

Overview

Our work is guided by research, evidence and national best practices.

We work with our local communities to make sure solutions reflect community.

We manage many violence-reduction programs. They fall into three primary categories.

  • Evidence-informed strategies
  • Innovation and capacity building
  • Youth-centered

Each program addresses violence at one of three points. 

  • Before it begins (prevention)
  • At the first sign of risk (support)
  • After it happens (healing)
