Solutions that can be implemented by a teacher, a parent, or a community group. Solutions that take a caring heart and a friendly face. The first step is to realize the entire scope of the problem.
Violence is a public health concern that has reached epidemic proportions.
It's even as close as your own backyard, when you hear about the activities of some of your local youth. No one is immune from violence, but everyone can and should be aware of its impact on society. These projects are diverse yet fulfill a particular need in each county. Although the Alliance has always worked toward a safer school environment, the SAVE Schools from Violence initiative emphasizes the importance of collaborating with our schools to make sure our children grow up to become healthy adults. Please read this kit to learn how your county or state Alliance can participate and be a part of the solution.
