NOW IS THE TIME FOR VIOLENCE PREVENTION!

Though not a new social and public health problem, violence in its various forms increasingly is being recognized as requiring urgent, vigorous and sustained attention. Practical experiences, coupled with scientific discoveries, are helping to enhance understanding of what works and what doesn't, and to stimulate communities to address the problem of stopping violence before it starts.

The PREVENT Program is designed to facilitate the change process by providing Education, Networking and Technical Assistance to help individuals and organizations nationwide reduce violence through local, state, tribal and national approaches.
